My beautiful Aunt Marilyn,
My mother always told us funny stories about the things you did together growing up. We also have so many memories of all the wonderful times we spent over your house as kids. She, as do all of us, loved you deeply. Kind, gentle,caring,worried about everyone but yourself... I could go on and on. I loved that you laughed at everything I always said even though I know I'm not that funny.
I hope that you and my mother are together again, laughing and telling stories with all your other loved ones that you have missed for so long. Be at peace my sweet Aunt and know that you will always be loved and remembered. Gary
