Jim and family, I only happened to see this much later and so I wish to convey my condolences. I remember my mom Donna many times talking very warmly about the times when she and Marilyn were growing up and also remember the fun times when we would get together on family occasions. My thoughts and prayers go with you!
Rest in Peace, Marilyn and say hi to my mom!
