Niana, Although it has been many years ago, I still remember your mom coming over to my grandma's to play the board game Aggravation. She was very competitve and so very nice. Sometimes we would visit at your house. So I would like to send my condolences at this difficult time. I hope the good memories you have will bring you peace and comfort as you go forward.

Niana and Dave, so sorry to just be learning of Marilyn's passing. She was such an upbeat and positive person, with a hard work ethic, and a steady demeanor. She was very integral in helping with my grandmother Audrey's estate after she passed away in 2000, and Krista and I were always so thankful for her help. My heartfelt feelings go out to you and the family, and I will let Krista know also. Her warm smile and personality will be missed.
