It was my honor and pleasure to know Marilyn for the past 5 years. She was full of love for her family and was a most welcoming person. The time we spent together was filled with laughter and fun, mostly sharing funny stories about the men in our lives and the crazy things they did!! She was a loving friend and I will miss her dearly. My love and thoughts go out to Lance and the rest of her family and friends! Rest in peace my sweet friend!
