We always looked forward to hearing from Marilyn and Bob after they moved away from Lewistown. Marilyn was such a lovely person and talented musician. She will be forever remembered.

We were saddened to hear of Marilyn's passing. Harold was always fond of her and thought she was a beautiful lady. She was so devoted to family and church. We looked forward every year to her Christmas letters.

Dear Bob and family, We were saddened to hear of Marilyn's passing. Making music with her and Dick Hamler at Trinity was always a musical pleasure. She was a very talented musician.
