I will miss Marilyn. Marilyn was one of a kind. So funny, smart, kind and so full of life. Loved life and took such good care of herself to help her through her health issues. I feel so lucky to have known her and call her a friend. It won’t be the same without her, as she just added so much just being in her presence. My sympathies to all the family. Cheryl
