Marilyn was my dear roommate for 4 years at Augustana College in Rock Island, Illinois. I was from Rhode Island and she was from Michigan. She had a good sense of humor I was rather serious. She was a good friend. One time when we had a break, I went to her home. Her father asked me what I wanted for dinner. I jokingly said steak. I was so embarrassed when that night we had steak. I was only kidding. I also sang a solo at her church. When we went to bed that night I heard her parents reading scripture and praying. Various times when I was singing a solo at school, she would bring me something to eat before I sang. She was a precious friend. I was sad to hear from my daughter of her passing. Even at our age, it is always shocking. The day of our graduation just as I was saying my last good bye to Marilyn, always Myrt to me, I burst into sobs. This was very unusual, because I never cried. I will miss her and her Christmas letters. Marilyn was just Marilyn. My heart is sad. Peggy McIver Borchert
