Sincere condolences to Charlene and Melinda and families.
I first met your Mom in 1963 at JMG, and of course I worked with both Ted and Ernie.
Your Mom was a great person, exceptionally kind and considerate.

Charlene and Melinda – my memories are rushing back of many visits to your house in Thornbury. Back then we had many moms because no matter whose house we were in, the moms treated us like their own. Marilyn served the best lunches, scolded us when needed but always had a smile when we were together. My heart goes out to you.

I have fond memories of walking to BVCS and seeing Marilyn each day as a child. I’m know she touched many students and even those student’s children in her time as the crossing guard. She was a constant in many children’s lives always providing a friendly beginning and end to the school day. I’m very sorry for your loss.
