"My heartfelt sympathy to you and your family. I feel it was divine intervention as I was searching the internet today for a classmate of mine who has also recently passed on, and I decided to enter my own name. To my surprise, up popped the obituary of my cousin, Marilyn Beisch. I met you Kenny, and Marilyn, when I was a young girl and was always amazed that there were two people on the planet named Marilyn Beisch. It is my loss that I did not get to know her. I was born in Algona to Mable and Bill (Willis) Beisch. My dad's sister was Cecelia Simons, and his sister-in-law was Sue Beisch. Another interesting tidbit - my husband's name is Kenny! May God bless you with his comforting peace."
In loving memory of

"Dear Uncle Kenne, Dave, Ed and families, Rick has spoken well for our family and for mom (Bonnie) and each of us. However, I would like to add a bit more. Through Mom(Bonnie's) past few years as mom struggles with Alzheimer's, Marilyn has been so very sweet and loving with letters and calls to both mom and myself. She has been such a wonderful sister to mom, and a blessing of a support to me as I have been a caretaker for mom. I am blessed by her love and caring devotion. She always has shown love and compassion to each of us, and has been an extra special gift to me in recent years. We will miss her greatly. Our love and prayers are with each of you today and in days coming. Love, Rita "

"How do I begin to put all my feeling in words. My heart is so heavy right now. Marilyn was truly an awesome lady. She struggled often, but always had the will to face her hardships and continue to go on. I'm searching in my mind to remember her totally amazing laugh that came from her toes and radiated with such joy. As she was laughing her beautiful eyes would twinkle. She loved her boys so very much and her grandkids were her joy. Marilyn had so much love to share with those around her and wanted all to know how she loved them. Almost everytime a conversation ended she would say "I love you". Marilyn, my dear I loved you and was proud to say you were my sister-in-law. We shared a common bond of being a Beisch in law!!!! I think of her love of flowers, her lake home, her friends, fishing, your love of music and your guitar ;and know that her and Sean are enjoying them today. The world lost an amazing lady but heaven gained an awesome lady to walk those golden streets with a wide smile and eyes so bright and shiny. You are at peace my dear, dear lady catching up with our Sean and your other family members and friends that left you to soon. I love you to the moon and back, Marilyn. When I get to heaven you'll be there to greet me and say, come meet our dear Savor Jesus Christ, until than, Marilyn."
