Dear Himmelberg Family and Friends,

Please accept my love, prayers, and sincere sympathy for you all. And be assured of prayers and Masses offered to Our Heavenly Father for the repose of Marilyn's soul. May she rest in the Peace of Christ forever!

And by the same Grace of Our Lord Jesus Crucified and Risen that is offered to all of us on His terms, in union with His Holy Catholic Church, may we all happily see her again in Heaven someday to rejoice in the Infinite Joy of the Most Holy Trinity for Eternity!

In the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary,

My heart hurts. Marilyn's presence touched my heart from
the first time we met. We were on a Cursillio team together I believe in1997. Her gentle spirit, wisdom, faith and affirming personality blessed me each time we were together. I feel I still had much to learn from Marilyn. God bless you Marilyn. I I know you are with our Lord enjoying the fruits of your deep faith. My love and prayers to Joe and family. ❤

Dear Joe and family, our hearts grieve with yours as we say goodbye to one beautifully spirited woman of God. ❣ She lived her faith and gave us a stellar model of service to our God. May her soul and the souls of all the faithfully departed through the mercy of God rest in peace.

Marilyn was a very special lady., I was lucky enough to meet her when she and Joe took my bridge class. My students become my friends, she was part of a special bridge family. She lived the game, learning, and people. I did attend some of her Kairos events, to share her passion. She was one of a kind. She will be missed by many and never forgotten. Her memories will last a lifetime.

Marilyn was a gracious lady I met through the Kairos ministry. She was such a help to us with doing the financial reports for our Chillicothe Ad Council. I met her in person once but communicated by e-mail many times. May your precious memories be of comfort to you in the days ahead. God bless you.
