The tree planted in your memory, Marilyn, on the grounds of Rosedale continues to thrive; my wife & I commune with it regularly, thereby gaining some solace for the ache of your absence.

Every day I'm at Rosedale I think of Marilyn and I stop by the beautiful tree sapling that we planted in her memory. Right now, its leaves are a spectacularly deep and shiny red color, how elegant and classy, as was Marilyn. It was a privilege to have been befriended by Marilyn. My heartfelt and sincerest wishes to the Winoker and Horovitz families for a peaceful day of remembrance.

I think of Marilyn every day as I walk along the majestic landscape that she left us at Rosedale Landing, the property where Marilyn & Jim made their home and, which my husband Donald and I now also call home.

Marilyn had many positive attributes which would be too numerous to mention. I especially remember her unique ability to listen and comprehend all points of view on a subject and then put forward a consensus opinion which was beneficial to all. God bless her always.

What a great lady! I knew Jim and Marilyn in 1992 when I worked for Cadre Technologies in Providence. We were tenants at 222 Richmond Street where Marilyn and Jim were "Hands-on" landlords, in the office every day.
I admired Marilyn for her ability to do so much. She had accomplished more than I could ever imagine. Her family is so fortunate to have been inspired by her accomplishments. While it had been years since I last saw Marilyn, her memory live on! Tender sympathy to those who loved her.

Our Aunt Marilyn continues to shine as the best example of refined, genteel behavior and demeanor. She was genuine, strong, capable, and determined. Aunt Marilyn demonstrated resilience and positivity. She appreciated the unique qualities of each person with whom she interacted, gave generously of her time and self. Her community works changed her towns, cities, communities and supported organizations for the the better. We will forever cherish your love, smile, and elegance.
