So sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. When I was a senior in high school, I had to move to Verona. I will always remember that Marilyn befriended me and helped me survive my senior year in a new school. My thoughts and prayers are with her family.

I am so sad to hear of Marilyn's death. Her and I were best friends in the late 60s and early 70s. We had great adventures riding around in her Camero. I remember her insisting I sit next to her with the family at her dad's funeral. I did lose touch with her when I moved away. I am sure her love and kindness shine down on all of us who loved her. I can't make it to the visitation but would love to be included in her celebration of life. Chris Shade (Bonano)
