To Marilyn's family,
Marilyn has been a colleague to me, a mentor and she become my friend. I will always remember how positive she was, even in the worst of time, how she loved talking about a good book, TV shows and most of all how she was caring for everyone around her. She also always had fun stories to tell! I really appreciated her and I will miss her deeply.
Please accept my deepest condolences for your loss. My prayers and thoughts are with you during this difficult time.
Sincerely,
Manon
