Marilynn, Dear, Mom, Grandma...we love you forever and ever. You will always be in our hearts.
I'm so grateful we were able to visit with Marilyn this summer while she was still feeling relatively good. She was a very special lady. Always kind and gracious. She will be missed. Love and prayers for the family!
