To The Family,

So sorry for everyone's loss. Marilyn raised my mother as a foster child & remained a staple in our family throughout the years. My Gramma left a mark on my heart as well as others. She was a big part of my childhood until she moved to Florida. I will always remember the times at Camp and all of our conversations. She gave me advice that I pass onto my own children, and hope they will pass it on to their own someday. The family values she cherished are the same ones that I cherish. I will Forever Love & Miss you greatly.
