Dear Jeanne, Kathy and Jim – We were saddened to get the call yesterday from Yvonne about the passing of your mom. The three of us cannot remember a time when Marilyn and your family were not a part of our lives! She was such a great friend to Mom for so many years. Your mom had a personal strength and joy in living which were a marvel to behold! We will be in touch in a more personal way, but wanted you to know we are thinking of you as you say goodbye to a great lady! From the Dalton kids – Bob, Martha and John.
