To Marilyn’s family;
I was blessed to be Marilyn’s hair dresser for many years. She was one of my favorites. I loved her very much. She had the ability to care and ask about my life and always remembered what we talked about. She was a wonderful listener. A woman of great faith. I will truly miss her and I am SO SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. It’s a shock to everyone, and you are in my prayers.
Love,

Marilyn and I were always in the same home room in school because we both had names that started wit G.I remenber her as a sweet girl who was liked by everyone. I have fond memories of our long conversations.
May God bless you and your family.

Tina, you and Mark are in my prayers. The next few days, weeks and months will be difficult for you. Continue to gather around your family and friends, the support you need is within your reach. It is my prayer that God will lay his loving hands on you and Mark showing you of his kidness and support in times of need.
Dear Family, I am so sorry to hear of Marilyn’s death. I remember the good times we had together at Biltmore. It is so comforting to know that she has only gone from our sight and her legacy will live on forever.
I am still so shocked and saddened about Marilyn’s passing. She was a very dear woman and meant so very much to me. I will miss her.
Mitch….I am so sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. You, Tina and family are in our thoughts and prayers. I know you will cherish precious memories. Praise God for the comforting Presence of the Holy Spirit. I know He is wrapping His arms of love around you. God bless.
It doesn’t seem possible that Marilyn is gone. She was always so vivacious, so full of life and so much fun. We will miss her smile and her laughter. We hurt for Mark and Mitch. It’s hard to lose a mother. It has to be harder when your mother was Marilyn.
Mitch, Tina and Myles,
Our prayer are with you and your entire family. You’re a great blessing! Your blessed mom is with Jesus FOREVER! We will see her again.
Our flesh may fail, but God is our strength, and our portion FOREVER. Psalm 73:26
Dear Mark and Beth,
We are so saddened to hear of the loss of Marilyn. Please know of our prayers for you during this extremely hard time. May God’s love wrap you close and give you strength.
Family,
No words can adequately express how sorry we are to hear of your Mom’s passing. We know what a special mother and Mimi she was to each of you. We pray that you will feel the arms of Jesus around you, holding you close to His heart.
The life of Mom cannot be cabined by the brief time spent in these bodies of clay. An empty tomb, borrowed for three days only, fifty feet from Golgotha’s Cross has tracks leading both ways. We have the promise that we too shall rise… Christ, the first fruits, and we at His coming. You will see and know Mom again, together with Dad in that land of the evergreen tree. We can not help but grieve when we must say goodbye to those we love, but we sorrow not as those who have no hope. We grieve with you and with you celebrate Marilyn’s life.
Love and Prayers,
Mom (Nana) and Dad (Grandad) Stanley

Dear Bette & Family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss.
Please know you are in our thoughts and prayers.
Mimi, I love you and miss you. Your compassion and kindness will live on. The world needs more people like you right now.
