My sincerest sympathy to you, Howie, and to Robin and your family. It has been many years since I have seen Marilyn, but I have very fond memories of the years we worked together at the Chelmsford Supt.’s Office. We had some good times and memories until I moved to Colorado in 1984. Please accept my condolences given with a heavy heart for the loss of someone so vibrant and full of life.
