Sending our love and sympathy to your family. Beth & I were recently remembering the visits our families had together when Stephanie and Tiernie were small. Beth and I each had our own little person to spoil for a few hours, even though we weren’t much older. Much love and blessings to you all. May God comfort you now that Marilyn has gone to her heavenly home. Greg, Kathy and family.
