Marilyn was a beautiful friend and neighbor for many years. My daughters have known her their entire lives and considered her a bonus grandmother. (Baboo) She will be greatly missed by her family and friends. We are sad and send sympathy to the family. Heaven received another angel.
Thank you Sally … she loved you and the girls very much !! Thank you for loving her !
We had the privilege of living next door to Marilyn and Cobb. They were neighbors from Heaven. Broke our hearts when they moved, but it was best for them. We stayed in touch for several years after their move. We loved them dearly.
Marilyn and Cobb are together again.
