Dear Friends: So sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. What a gal! She was a very good friend of my aunt, Marion Odegaard-Stoley.

I met Marilyn and Harold when I had the privilege of caring for them while they were in their home for about 4 years. I grew to love them both. Such kind and wonderful people that so enjoyed their family and were very proud of them all. Marilyn showed such strength and I admired her very much. My thoughts and prayers go out to all of her family. Marilyn will be missed.
