Dear Alan and Jill, Mike and I join our children, Michael and Marcy, in sending our sincere condolances to you. Marilyn was a dear friend since high school.

Alan and Jill-

There are no words I can say to express the way I feel about Marilyn, she was a friend, neighbor and like a seccond mother to me. The memories I have of her will be in my heart forever. The Fox's have always been a part of my family and the two of you are in my thoughts and prayers every day and night! There is nothing I wouldn't do for you and I want you to know how much I loved her and how much she touched everyone she ever knew! Her life was so precious and I enjoy thinking about all the memories I had with her growing up!

I love you both!

Let me just say that the loss of a dear loved one is not something you ever get over, however it is something you will learn to get used to and God never gives you more than he knows you can handle.

Let me hold your hands in silence for I know any words that I may say will not truly express the sorrow you and Jill are feeling.

Dear Alan & Jill,



If only we knew what to say to comfort you! But words cannot say what is in our hearts, nor tell you how deeply we feel for you in your time of sorrow.



Marilyn was a dear friend and we will never get over missing her. You know we share your grief, but we wish that sharing it could lighten the burden for the both of you!



We send you all our love, and sympathy.



Love,
