Celebrating her life…

I received this message today from an old friend and former boss of Mom’s. It made me smile. Such true words. It still doesn’t seem real that she’s gone…

Ann, we will always remember Marilyn as one of our ultimate heroines. She had the biggest heart of anyone we’ve ever known. She was always the one picking someone up from the airport or taking them to dinner or making them dinner for that matter, or cleaning their clothes or cleaning their apartment. She had a way of making you feel special, no matter who you were. And what an optimist! She was the type of person you would want to spend time with because she would lift your spirits just by being around her. I think of her now and I smile. That’s how we know she’d want it though we recognize the world is a lesser place without her.
