    I’m so very sorry for your loss of someone so precious ! I’ve known her all my life and I believe we are related but I can’t remember exactly how now that I’m older I don’t remember a lot of things. I do remember though that every time she and I saw each other we talked our hearts out and I have always loved her ! Always down to earth and said what she felt. She would give you the world if she could.. I will always remember her. We always joked about being at the doctors at the same time and when they called out Marilyn we both stood up and looked at each other and laughed ! RIP MY DEAR FRIEND Praying for you all 🙏 Oh and I have to say she loved her family so much and talked so much about you all !!!
