So Sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. I was privileged to know her and have fond memories, especially of the great time at her wedding. Rest in peace, friend.

Cousin Marilyn was my Mom´s first cousin Rose Maresca from Hoboken NJ. We shared so many families special celebrations together over the years. She was always so much fun to be around and talk to on the phone. Our conversations could last for hours., In our last conversation a few months ago we laughed about Christmas cards and lotto scratch off tickets-she knows what this means., LOL! I´m saddened I´ll never see her and have another chat with her until we meet again. We always ended our talk and good-Byes saying I love you. I LOVE YOU MARILYN! May you Rest In Peace with our Heavenly Father.

Marilyn was a trailblazer throughout her life. Beginning in the early 1950´s, as a young woman, she entered the highly competitive world of publishing in New York City. She moved through the ranks to a significant position of responsibility, and traveled around the world representing the interests of the firm. Decades later successfully retired after a job well done. Like in her professional life, Marilyn was also a trailblazer in her private, family life. She loved her family and wanted to participate in every special event that was before the family. A wedding, a funeral, a graduation, a confirmation, a birthday, a new birth, whatever the family event, if possible, Marilyn would be there. She was a kind, compassionate person who simply wanted to love and support her family. She was also my Cousin for 8 decades. A person who was so inspirational and full of life. She will be sorely missed, but never forgotten. Rest In Peace our dear Cousin.
