Only time can heal. There are so many qualities that great aunt Marilyn had, far to many to go back and recount. Her kindness and gentle being will be sadly missed by all of us.

Hi family of Marilyn. How lucky you are to have such good memories of Marilyn. She would be a pick of mine to have as my next door neighbor. I loved her and will miss her terribly, especially when she would sit by us at Bingo. My prayers are with you and Marilyn. I know she lives in peace. Phyllis Burritt
