I knew Marilyn only briefly while I work as a guard at the Super Bi-Lo on Folly Rd. I would take a cookie or two from the dish set out for the 12 and under children and hence she would always refer to me as the cookie cop. I know she must have been very loved by all her friends and family and most certainly of course by God. My deepest condolences to all who knew and loved Marilyn.
