Dear Bob, Marty, Lonnie and family...We are shocked and saddened by the great loss of our dear friend. Marilyn was a bright light in our neighborhood and I enjoyed seeing her on the porch in the summer, looking at the newest flower blooms in the garden, catching up on the latest goings on and getting her delicious muffins. I will miss her friendship, smile and conversations. I feel blessed to have had her in my life.

Marilyn, I am at a loss for words. You have been neighbors with my Mom for years. You took care of my baby when my dad passed away shortly after you moved in. I hardly knew you and Bob but I knew deep down that I could trust you. You always had a sweet smile for me and I will never forget the wonderful zucchini bread you made me. My thoughts and prayers to your family and friends. RIP sweet Marilyn, God has received a wonderful angel.
