Marilyn was out across the street neighbor on Sunset Rd in Waterloo. I remember our long chats and watching David and Sue grow up. She loved her cats also. When she moved to Cedar Falls we lost contact. How wonderful to see how her family has grown and that you all will have wonderful cherished memories of your mom, grandmother and great grandmother.
