I have such special memories of Marilyn. We lived across the road from each other when we were teenagers. Every afternoon we saddled up our horses to go bring the cows up for milking. She rode her horse “Pepsi” and I was on mine “Dolly.” We had such fun riding and chatting the whole time. No matter what mood we were in when we started, we were always laughing when we were done. She was a very special person and will be greatly missed.
To the family of Marilyn,
My deepest sympathy for your loss. She was loved and respected by my Mom (Mary) and Grandma(Agnes) I know they welcomed her to heaven with open arms.She always had a smile and a loving heart for our family. She was and always will be an angel.
