So sorry to hear of Marilyn’s passing. May her family be comforted by God’s peace. Marilyn and I had many late night talks about her deceased husband and my deceased son. We are moving back to Smithville and I was looking forward to more of these talks. She will be missed so very much. R.I.P. my dear friend ❤️

I am so sorry to hear of Mert’s passing. As families we have been connected for so many years I feel I’ve lost one of my own family member. Such a sweet and funny gal. A giving person to our community. I can’t begin to list all her great virtues. My heart goes out to all. I will miss her dearly. Hugs and prayers. May she rest in God’s arms.
