I have many happy memories of you Aunt Marilyn. I loved staying with you and Uncle Roger. I was very close to you and Linda and Judy. I will always remember your laughter..your wonderful baked goodies...your sharing your pretty dresses with me to wear to church. You always made me feel very loved and special. I will always love and miss you. My prayers for you Linda and Judy and the family. God bless you all.

Linda & Judy,
We read of your Mother's passing. We enjoyed being her neighbors for nearly twenty years. She was delightful. I always looked for her smile at the KMC gift shop. I know she will be missed. Mark & Deborah
