Marilyn was so much fun and always had a twinkle in her eyes and a great laugh. She always talked about Denny and her best friend Jill and her family (especially the twins). Marilyn
was a good friend and will miss her alot.

The few short years I worked with Marilyn, she gave me a lot of wonderful advice and encouragement not to take life so seriously. Such a wonderful inspiration! Though we didn't see each other or talk on the phone often once she left SPX, I will miss her dearly!
