Jeff and Family, We were distressed to hear about Marilyn. You came to the W. A. Church after we moved to Charlotte; however, we always enjoyed our visits when we returned. Then you moved to Thomasboro on the other side of Charlotte from us. We are never ready to lose our loved ones and only our Faith in the Sovereignty of God and the concern of caring friends comfort us. Please know we are thinking of you and will hold you in our prayers. We hope it helps to know that others do care. Zunita and Joe
Please accept my sincere condolences in the passing of Mrs. Kesterson. Our family has loved she and Jeff for as long as I can remember. She was a gentile lady and will be sadly missed even though we recognize she’s in a better place. Love, Sue B. Cox
Marilynn was such a wonderful person and a great role model for the children at Candler School. Her talent as a librarian was unmatched and her ability to work with and please so many people is a
tribute to her people skills. As her principal it was an honor to have had the opportunity to work with such a dedicated person.
Our sincere sympathy and prayers at this difficult time; Marilyn was a favorite aunt and much loved by all family. Even though our presence was not possible, our thoughts are with you. Dr. John Kesterson, Martha Kesterson Coussement & Karen Kesterson Milani
Jeff & family,
Our prayers and thoughts are for each of you during this time. We thank God for your family, for the fellowship and love and service that you and Marilyn shared with us in our youth at West Asheville Presbyterian.
