What a shock to hear of Marilyn’s passing. 🙁 She was such a wonderful woman, always smiling and a good friend to all. Many hugs and prayers to the family, especially Kyle and Erica. She surely will be missed!
Erika and Kyle — Our hearts break for you both. You are much too young to have lost both parents. Your mom always had a smile on her face and was always pleasant. We will be unable to come to the funeral home, but our thoughts and prayers are with you.
God Bless You!

To all of Marilyn’s family,
We just want you to know how very sorry we are for the loss of your mom. It was such a shock to read it in the paper and so hard to believe. She was so young! You are so young to have lost both your parents Kyle and Erica and words cannot express our deepest sympathy to you. We always enjoyed running into Marilyn when we were out and about. Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers and are praying the Lord would wrap his arms around you to comfort you and give you strength to get through the difficult days ahead. Our hearts go out to you and your family!
Erica and Kyle my heart goes out to you both. Marilyn was a dear friend to me and I will miss her immensely . We shared a love of reading and I am sure she has boxes of books sitting around the house. We often laughed about where we would stash our piles of books. She loved her grandchildren dearly. You were truly blessed to have her for a mother. Hugs to all….
