My sincere sympathy goes out to Marilyn’s family. I went to school with Marilyn beginning in grade school at North School. I remember her as a quiet and friendly person. We were friends during our school years but lost touch after that. I did see her a few years back at a doctor’s waiting room just for a brief minute. We exchanged a hello but didn’t have time to speak other than she told me she wasn’t well. I am so sorry I didn’t have a chance to speak with her. I always liked Marilyn and from what I read in her obituary, she was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother and all round homemaker. My thoughts are with her family.
