We are both so saddened to hear the news about Marylin. Any excuse for loss of time with friends is not acceptable. Marilyn and you both came into our lives at a very special time. We treasured the time we had with Marylin, always positve and supportive not to mention her sense of humour. She was a great teacher, helping me get through the challenging times of motherhood. Just one more chance to have listened to her many words of wisdom would have meant so much. Our thoughts are with you and Brian and Heather. Please take care.

Our condolences to you and your family Jon. Here is a quote you may find comforting. "Those who have ascended have different attributes from those who are still on earth, yet there is no real separation. . . . . In prayer there is a mingling of station, a mingling of condition. Pray for them as they pray for you!" Abdu'l-Baha

Jon and Family, Marilyn fought so bravely for so long, as have you along side her. Now is a time for rest and peace. My prayers are with you both.

We are saddened to hear of Marylin's passing. We have fond memories of our children growing up and playing together in Lambeth, and the interactions our families used to have.

Jon and family Jon, you know our thoughts are there with you & family. You also know we would be there if , if we were in London. Marilyn is now at rest and no longer suffering. Before, we left, I talked to Marilyn about a certain store down here. Well, I found out it is no longer here, and the thought came to mind, I must e-mail Marilyn and tell her and then it hit me!!! I am going to miss her. We will be in touch when we return. The Hagens

Dear Jon and Family So sorry to hear about the passing of Marilyn. We know from Marie and Doug that she had not been doing well the last year. We would have liked to attend the memorial but we are in Mexico until February 29th. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you and your family at this sad time. Yvonne and Bob Rogers

We will miss our manhattan afternoons, Marylin liked hers neat with a twist of orange. The time we spent in Florida with the two of you always brings a smile to our face. She is the bravest person we have known and we will miss her dearly. Our thoughts are with you all during this difficult time.
