Just learned of Marilyn’s passing. So sad to hear this, she was a great gal. Norma and I were close friends and Marilyn was just the icing on our cake. When she was around us we would have some pretty good conversations…Lol …embarrass Norma too. I will treasure my memories of those girls forever.
Take care of yourself.

Dear Dan, I just learned of Marilyn’s passing and wanted to extend my deepest condolences to you and your families. I worked with Marilyn when St Joes went over to Vic dialysis and we both ended up at SelfCare. She was a very good nurse and so very kind. I know it’s been hard since her stroke and I wanted you to know she was well liked among her peers and patients.
Sincerely,
Patty
