Meeting Marilyn was by chance for me delivering her paper as a young man, She and I figured it out quick and Marilyn had said you know I'm your grandmother! The time we shared knowing each other she was warm and kind and showed love to all family despite their past, I'm grateful for knowing you.

Marilyn was a kind and creative soul who met life’s challenges with bravery, loved her family deeply, and remained young at heart always. Her unwavering faith and joyful spirit live on within her family, in the beautiful art she created, and the love she shared. She will be remembered with love and gratitude always.

Remembering my dear mother-in-law Marilyn. My Hope is that we will be reunited someday to live in God's original plan for us and His Earth!! My prayer is that the Biblical Jesus Christ met her the moment she left this Physical Realm and entered Eternity, with open arms and stated: "Welcome home daughter!" Our Almighty God is Sovereign & Holy and we were created to bring Him Glory. Thank you Jesus for your gift to us of Mom, and especially Eternal Life in You Alone as we could never have a chance to spend forever with YOU on our own! Mom was loved very much ❤
