I still remember the fun days we had.
Very sorry to hear abut Marilyn’s passing.
My deepest condolences to the family.
May her soul R.I.P.
My deepest sympathies go out to her family. She was such a joy to have here at St. Elizabeth’s. Her witty sense of humor kept us laughing every day. She was one of the sweetest most kind women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Words can’t express how much I will miss her.
Dear Robert, Terri, and Nancy,
We are very sorry to learn about the loss of your mother. I have good memories of talking with her by the Wethersfield pool. She always had a kind word.
Thinking of you…Donna (Broman) and Richard Goldstein
So sorry for the loss of your Mom, Robert and Nancy.
It has been many years since I last saw Marilyn.
I remember her fondly from our childhood days.
Rob, Terri and family – We extend our deepest prayers and condolences in this time of sorrow. Marilyn was always a lady with a big smile.
I’m so sorry for your loss.
I got to know Marilyn on our trips to Boston, from Coventry, RI,
for our annual Girls’ High School Alumnae Association class reunions.
Not Girls’ Latin School.
I was Marilyn’s primary caregiver on the overnight shift for her entire stay at St. E. She was one of the kindest, dearest, ladies I’ve ever had the pleasure to know. I miss her lovely smile, and raucous sense of humor so much. She made working nights a pleasure. My sincerest condolences to her family, whom she spoke of so highly and often. God bless.
