Dear Zan, Jill, and family, I will surely miss Marilyn very much. I found her to be a witty and inspiring person to be with. She was always full of life and fun to be around. Most of my time spent with Marilyn was when we were playing bridge or eating lunch at the club. I always felt close to her and welcomed her perspective on a multitude of things that we discussed. Our Wednesday bridge will not be the same without her.
