Thinking of Dave, Ann & the entire family. I know how big a loss this is, and how much Marilyn will be missed by all who love her. Keep her warm and loving memories close to your heart. God Bless.
My condolences, and many happy memories of Marilyn be with you. And may these promises from Jehovah God comfort you in times of sorrow. “Do not be anxious….but in everything by prayer and supplication along with thanksgiving, let your petitions be made known to God; and the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and your mental powers by means of Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7; Isaiah 25:8 NWT.
I didn’t really know you that well, but I do wish that I got to talk to you and get to know you more all of the times we were up in Maine. I do remember stopping by up in Maine and talking with you, which I liked very much. Love you and miss you.
So many wonderful memories with Auntie Marilyn and the whole gang at Popham and family functions. She always kept the good times going and the family together. She set the perfect example of what an aunt, a mom, a sister, a good person is. She will be orchestrating one heck of a Scat game up there in heaven, not letting anyone go to bed!!!! I will miss her so very much.
Love you “Auntie-M” Always enjoyed your company and times we all had in Maine.
