What a wonderful Aunt,

Marilyn was always such a sweetheart! So much love and healing sent to her entire family.
Blessings to all of you, as you celebrate your adorable mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother, today. She was a precious lady who I was so fortunate to call my sister-in-law. We had many great times together over the last nearly 60 years. I can still remember the fun wedding shower she and my other sisters-in-law threw for me on Earl Court in Elyria, Ohio. And, then, when she, Bill, and the family moved to Arizona, we had many memorable visits. I was so glad we had a phone conversation just the day before she left for her heavenly home! I will cherish all of the memories we made and I know all of you will, too. God bless you all. Love, Aunt Claudia
