Julie,
I sent a email to your work but you must not be there any longer. What a beautiful picture. I remember your mom's spunk even when things were difficult. Very sorry for your loss.

Julie, Wow, Mar was beautiful and you look a lot like your mom. The candle lit reminded me of THOSE STEPS at the house by the towers. Rest in Peace Marlyn, Love Renee

Julie and Brian, I'm so sorry for your loss. Aunt Marlyn was a one of a kind, beautiful lady. I loved her spunky attitude and the way she took no crap from anyone ( not even Walt that I know of LOL ) . The last time I saw her was not too long before she moved up by you Julie. Mom and I stopped out to her house to visit and have lunch. She made one awesome sandwich, and I remembered how she talked about her cat and how she loved him ( sorry I don't remember kitty's name ). Rest in Peace Aunt Marlyn, love, Linda ( Archer ) Goth
