Harris (And Family)

I was so sorry to hear about the loss of your wonderful mom. I remember her always having a warm smile and positive attitude. Having lost my dad last year, these are two great people who brought much cheer to us and will be sorely missed. I wish you strength in this difficult hour.

Dear Harris, Holly and Gail and Families,



I am truely devistated by the death of Marilyn. She was such a kind, gentle, loving person. I do remember those moments when she was angry, usually at my Mom, but they always passed. She was like a second mother to me. When we were deciding what to do for Mom's 80th (the spa) there was never any question that it would be Marilyn to go along with her.



Her legacy will always live in my family through the beautiful silver water pitcher she gave me when I got married 32 years ago. My whole family knows every time the pitcher came out I called Marilyn to chat.



Seeing her was part of all my visits to HP over the years with or without my kids. It won't be the same without her there.

love, Lo

To Marilyn's Family:

My sincere condolences on the loss of your mother and sister. I want you to know that I thought the world of Marilyn. She was a sweet and upbeat person who made the world a better place. As a much-loved member of our community, we will all miss her.

I got to know her as a great and loyal supporter who helped me with my election campaigns. In fact, the photo I was ready to post on my website for the upcoming campaign with was Marilyn right beside me with the group when I announced I would seek another term. She continued to give as much as she could to the very end. May fond memories and knowing how highly she was admired bring some comfort to you in your loss.

Dear Arnie,

I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Although I haven't seen Marilyn in many a year, I was very fond of her both in school(she was behind me one semester)and when we re met through mutual friends. I wish good health and peace in the new year for all or your family.
