"Back some years ago while going through very rough patches in life, Marilyn was my guardian angel, best friend. There is not enough room here to share all the wonderful memories that flood through my heart and mind. Marilyn helped me be who I am today. I give God all the glory for bringing her into my life. My prayers for comfort and peace to all her family and friends. Fly high with Jesus and God's angels Marilyn you have earned many jewels in your heavenly crown. I hold you in my heart forever.

"So very sorry to hear of Aunt Marilyn's passing. Growing up you never visited Iowa without her and the kids waiting for us to get there. We may have had some issues but we were very close for many years. Will treasure the memories, blankets for kiddos, and we will all try to continue your tradition of garage sales on. Love ya. Ed and family so very sorry. "
