"I will al ways cherish what very little time I was able to spend with Aunt Marilyn. Her sense of humor was the best. When I was in the Navy in training in Great Lakes I took the train to Michigan to spend the weekend with Grandma Scofield, Aunt Jeanie and Aunt Marilyn and had the best weekend I ever had while I was there! My only regret is that I did not do it more often. Until we meet again, enjoy the company of Grandma, Grandpa, Dad and all others who join you before me. I love you, Joey"
