My condolences to your family. I remember Marilyn from the clothes closet. She was such a sweet lady. She will be missed.
Dear Dana and family: I remember your Mother SO well; especially, from the Clothes Closet! That was such a fun little shop–lots of memories. She was always SO sweet, thoughtful, friendly, helpful, etc. And, of course, she always loved supporting you in all ways. I remember her, too, from the little dance group and when Brittany was the flower girl in your wedding. Although that was such a long time ago, it seems just like yesterday. Please know that I am sending you and your family lots of love, hugs and prayers.
Years and years of friendship…words seem so small, especially now, when the loss is staggering. But memories of Marilyn will live forever with those who knew her and loved her. Bless all family members, and Sherry, my heart is with you as always.
Dana & family,
