Hans, I sang with the choir, but couldn't join you afterwards as I had to visit The Claremont and bring them Holy Communion. Please accept my condolences. I'll be sure to say a prayer for you all. John Walker

Dear Hans,

We are so sorry for your loss. In the short time we've known Marilyn, we've found her to be a kind and gentle person, undeserving of her fate. She could not have had a better person to care for her as you. Our prayers are with you.

Hans, Lisa, Carol, Mark & David,



My thoughts and prayers go to you at the passing of your beautiful wife and mother. Your love has seen her through these long and difficult times.



My memories of Marilyn go to very happy times we "alumni" had together at parties in the late 50's and 60's.



God bless all of you!

Dear Hans,

Barbara and I are offering our prayers for you and your family. Although we never met Marilyn, we know she was a wonderful person just from the way you spoke about her. You have the memories of 45 years together. May they sustain you now and in the future. Rest assured that our classmates who have gone before us have welcomed her into the heavenly kingdom.

Dear Hans,

You and your family will be in my prayers. I was truly saddened to hear of Marilyn's passing. I'm sure Ed was up there to greet her when she arrived as he was always a big fan of hers. May all your wonderful memories of your life together sustain you during this trying time.
