Van,
I was very sorry to hear about Marilyn´s passing. I had the good fortune of knowing Marilyn since her time working for Graybar in OKC. She was very helpful in many business dealings even though I worked in the Tulsa office. Please know each of her family are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. As Scripture reminds us, the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. My prayer is that you feel His nearness, peace, and strength in the days ahead, and that His comfort surrounds you and the family as you grieve.
