I always loved being in her calming home with the beautiful shades of blue throughout. Lots of memories there I will cherish. Marilyn had a way about her of making others (me) feel confident with decisions and was a strong woman to have raised Jennifer after her husband passed to the fine woman she has become. She sure did a good job. Again, memories will remain, and live on through Jennifer and Marilyn’s grandchildren.
I’m so sorry for your loss. My mother truly enjoyed their conversations—whether they were talking about raising us kids or catching up on the latest neighborhood news. I hope you can take comfort in the memories. I truly believe our loved ones are always with us.
I’m so sorry for your loss! Your mother was a wonderful woman and was loved by many! You were a great daughter to her! I’m sorry I will be out of town so I won’t be able to attend but you and your family will be in my thoughts
