Marilyn: We grew up together, from the playpen on up in Riverdale, sharing many good memories. I have never met a sweeter and graceful one as you. As has been said, Marilyn elegantly veiled her issues that few are capable of doing. My heart is extremely heavy, but a few swigs of the many good memories we had will bring back the smiles.
