Dear Barb, Bobby, Nancy and families, Jim and I are so sorry for your loss of your Mom (sister). Our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you during this difficult time. My memories of Marilyn began when I first met her at the car races at Riverside Park over 40 years ago. I will always cherish those times and all the crazy fun that came along with it. Oh, how Al and Marilyn loved those races! I also used to see your Mom when your Dad brought her (never knew if he dragged her along or if she went willingly?!) over to the gravel pit for a session of "shooting the scrap" with my father-in-law, Larry. I know how much they loved all of you; when I asked how the family was, the pride beamed out of their faces! They were always ready to share updates. Marilyn has now arrived in her "forever home" and has been reunited with your Dad. You will always have two "Angels" watching over all of you......
Marilyn was a good friend of mine during our time at J.c.p. Always had a smile and a great worker.
Bob & Karin, Deepest sympathies to you and your family for your loss. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
