    Our condolences go out to the family. I've known Marion certainly since I was in high school with Marilyn. A tiny lady, there was never any doubt who was in charge of that household! When I was there to help with the party to introduce great grandson Miles to friends and family, I couldn't believe what an appetite she had. She could be sweet and tough at the same time, and I'm sure that's how she got through some tough times this past year. I know she was lucky to have the support of her family. Our thoughts are with you all.

    May Marion live forever in the hearts and minds of those who loved her. Every day is a precious gift and losing a loved one is reminder of this. Marilyn, I am certain your mother was grateful to you for giving her all of the love and compassion she shared with you and your brother so very many years ago. I love you and hug you and our cousins from afar. - Brenda
