Father Tom and siblings. I am so sorry for your loss of Marilyn. I got to know Marilyn when I stayed with John a few times. She was a wonderful lady. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
Dear Angela, Janelle, Father Tom and Patrick, We were so sorry to learn of the loss of your Mother. I thought so much of her and we had so many happy times when we lived within a block of each other. She was a wonderful, lovely happy Christian woman. She loved her family more than words can say. We know that she and your Dad are together again and that’s exactly what she told me a couple of weeks ago – “I just want to go and be with John.” We will miss her. Blessings to all of you. We love you, Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Dick.
