Marilyn was always a joy to visit. As a child, James and she made time to talk with me, and I felt loved and special. Her faith in God was grounded by living her life according to the teachings of Christ. Marilyn was a lovely woman, a gift to us all, and I loved her very much. Thank you, Marilyn, for being a loving cousin. I will miss you!
