So sorry for your loss Kathy. Think of you often.

Dave, Deb and the Johnson Family,

Please know you have our deepest sympathy at this time. We know how special Marilyn was to your family and she will be deeply missed. We are here if you need anything.

I am so sorry to learn of Marilyn's passing. I will be unable to attend on Friday due to a couple of conflicts. She was a great friend and co-worker, one of the best! She may have contributed to the starts of many obsessive collections in many of our houses (P. Buckley Moss, the little Black Cat buildings, Santas) and she got me at least started in cross stitching even though I fell off that bandwagon. The couple of times I was in her house also got me interested in crocks after seeing her end tables made from crocks with wooden tops on them, I've thought of them often. Please accept my deepest sympathy, to be extended to each and everyone of you, her family. She spoke of you all often during our UIHC days (weddings, births, graduations) and that continued into our get togethers post retirement. Please know that She Will Be Greatly Missed!

Dear Family of Marilyn,

No more suffering which she endured with such grace. She was so proud of her family and you were so good to her. I've been a friend since Junior High. One could not have a more true friend than Marilyn. I'm thankful for that. Please accept my sympathy on your loss.

Oh my gosh! I am so sorry to hear about Marilyn! She was the one who hired me in the Business Office in May/1988. We use to spend a lot of time at her house working on jigsaw puzzles - that was a lot of fun! If we tried to fit a piece in the puzzle and it didn't work, the other one would shout "denied!" and then we'd chuckle about it. She was a very dear lady. If it wasn't for her, I would not have started collecting Noah's arks or Cat's Meow village pieces or P Buckley Moss prints! :-) I'm glad I got to take her to Paneras one last time around our birthday, and surprise her with Linda Brade and LeAnn Walsh waiting for us there - she really enjoyed that. You are all in my thoughts and prayers. She was a such a dear friend and I'll truly miss her!

Dear Kathy and Family, My condolences to you and your family. I know that the last month has been hard but your family's love and support certainly were a blessing to your Mom. Go easy, grief is a roller coaster. Sending good thoughts your way.
