I'm so sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. I wish I had kept in touch more often, though we had time to visit at the retiree get-togethers. Marilyn and I go back many years, and we shared a lot of memories of those years together as co-workers. My prayers are with Marilyn's friends and family members going through this difficult time of sadness. God bless you all. Sarah Perry
