Marilyn was like a beloved sister to my mom Joyce. She was one of the closest persons in my Mom's life growing up. They shared many good and some bad times growing up together both being from single parent homes. She was one of the most special people in my young life. I cherished visits with Marilyn, Jerry and Alan (before Lisa was born) and when they came to Columbus for Alan's swim meets. As a young girl I dreamt of marrying my cousin Alan.
After my mom died Marilyn never failed to call me during the years inquiring about my brothers and sisters and catching up. She always ended with "I Love you ". I'm sure she is rejoicing with my mom and my grandma, Aunt Dru. Lisa please call me.
