I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Even though we don't see you since we lost the older generation, I still enjoyed talking with the cousins at family reunions. We all got old without even realizing it. You're in out thoughts and prayers.

We are sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. It was a pleasure working with Marilyn throughout the years. She was always generous with her time, giving advice about work or just talking about anything that was on your mind. I was glad to get to know her and call her a friend. Although Sue only met her a handful of times, she always enjoyed her company. She will be missed. Our condolences to Marilyn's family.
