Mariyln, I will miss your calls, your cards, your smile, your hugs, and your love for everyone. You were so accepting and forgiving. I know God was eager to have you there in heaven. I love you and I'll really miss you.
Your cousin,

Marilyn was my next door neighbor when I was a teenager growing up on Jason street. She was always so sweet and so kind, and it made me sad to hear of her passing.

Marilyn will be truly missed as a co-worker and most preciously as a dear friend. No matter what she was going thru in her own personal life, she always had a positive word and a smile. She would always ask about your family and how things would be with yourself. If you would ask about how she was doing it was always "doing great". She never had a negative word to say about anything. Even though it is very sad to know she and her smile are gone, it brings me great happiness and many smiles to come to know I will see her again and she will be there to greet me with that BIG SMILE and open arms with that hug of hers. My thoughts and prayers go out to all her family during this time. God Bless You All.

I can't believe she is gone, this wonderful friend who always wanted to know about you and yours no matter what she was going through herself. She was loved by all who knew her and I guess we took for granted the time she had with us. I miss her so, but know and envy her that she is with her Father now and smiling down on us all. She had done her work here and influenced us all to be a better person by the way she shared herself. God Bless You as you go on without this wonderful lady's presence in your lives.

There is no doubt that Marilyn will be missed by her family,friends and co-workers (Continental). I had the privilege and honor to know Marilyn for over four years, her infectious smile, her warmth and grace will be greatly missed, but what i will miss the most is her hugs, for in her hugs you could feel her spirit, and what a sweet soulful spirit it was and still is. For God has called his Angel home, May the Lord give you the strength and peace in knowing that Marilyn is now with the Father, free of any pain, sickness or disease for she is fully restored waiting until the day that we will join her in Heaven. God Bless.

Dear Danny,I was saddened when I heard of Marilyn's passing. You have my deepest sympathy. We first knew Marilyn as young children and then met up again in high school. The last time I saw Marilyn's radiant smile was at our 02' high school bash. Her beautiful countenance will always remain in my memories. My sisters Linda,and Dorothy join me in sending our thoughts and prayers for you and your sons. Sincerely, Karen K. Smith

I had the great pleasure of working with Marilyn. She will be deeply missed by all her co-workers. I have never met anyone that did not have a kind word to say about Marilyn. She was always happy and gracious, even when she was going through her treatments she never complained. Even co-workers that did not know her by name, knew that she was the lady that always had a smile on her face. My prayers are with her entire family.

Marilyn was like a ray of sunshine everywhere she went. She always had a kind word to say and a hug to give. I will miss you and your smile. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. I know she is smiling down on us, free of pain and no more tears. God bless her and all her family and loved ones. Marilyn will be greatly missed. We have all lost a good friend in Marilyn.

Mariyln had a one of a kind beauty that came from within and encompassed her whole being. She did indeed embrace everyone like family. She was kind, loving, compassionate and "consistent"...always stopping with a kind word,hugs and her beautiful smile. She faced her illness with the tenacity of a little bulldog and was deltermined to get better. I have learned much from her dignity, hope and faith. I had the privilege of praying with Marilyn for a few years for her family and friends. Recently she shared how one of our prayers for herself and Danny had been answered. My sadness is deep for the loss of my friend, but I also have great joy...knowing I will see her again. Deepest sympathy
to all of you, her dear family; you are in my prayers.

Ours lives took separate directions but our hearts and souls were always together. I know that she is in good hands and she will always be my special angel.

Please accept my sincerest condolences. I personally never knew Marilyn, but I do remember her fondly. As a Continental co-worker, I never got the pleasure to know her except seeing her on the elevator. She was always kind and very sweet and didn't need to know a person to talk to them. So many just go on about their business without even cracking a smile but that most certainly wasn't the case with Marilyn. She had a smile and a nice word for everybody. May God Bless you all during this difficult time. I'll truly miss her presence and feel her asbsence in the elevator.
