Marilyn was one of those rare people who always made you smile and feel welcome. She was funny, sweet, and sensible, and so comfortable to be around. We were so happy to have seen her at Bridget's wedding, doing the "Chicken Dance" on the sidelines during the reception dancing. She is much loved, and will be greatly missed. She and Don were a perfect match, and now are reunited.

Janet and David, So sorry to hear of your loss also. It's been a rough week. Thank you so much for your kind words, also. I too, remember many fun times at your house. Our families had a lot of good times together. Great childhood memories.
