"Dear Matt, Erin, Bill and Family: Ardie and I will miss Marilyn so much. Every summer, she was such a hoot and made us laugh. She loved me from the time I was 3 years old and she played the piano at our wedding. There will be a large gap in the world now - she will be missed. I'm sure this is a very hard time for you all - please know we send you all our love and deepest sympathies. - Kristin"
