Yesterday
Marilyn was a very big part of my teen years, she married my cousin John (Bernard), but we always called them Aunt and Uncle. I have so many memories of them both. Crocheting, trip to New York in John's truck, staying with them in Indiana, babysitting Monica, Jeff, Shelley, John John, and Mindy. I practically lived at their house in Riverton. Marilyn was more like an older sister to me. I'm so sorry to hear this sad news. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
