Dear John, John, Mary, Courtney and John, Oh how I wish we could say it isn't so! Such a shock....so very sudden. And how also I wish I could just give her a hug and tell her again how much she meant to me, to the members of our Prayer Shawl Ministry and to the recipients of the lovely prayer shawls she made. As you are well aware, her thoughtfulness, her kindness, her dedication, her talent were all extraordinary....She will be greatly missed. I cannot imagine your pain. Sending wishes for peace and prayers that you will be comforted.

To Marilyn's entire family,
I am was so saddened to hear of your loss. It is especially difficult when death comes suddenly, without warning. I did not know Marilyn well. I met her at Trinity's prayer shawl group and at a few other functions at the church. She definitely was a sweet person! You are in my prayers. I hope you can take comfort from the many in Trinity Church who will be there for you during this time of sorrow. May God surround you and your family and give you peace.

Dear John & Mary,
I can just imagine how broken your hearts are, on the passing of your Mother. I worked coffee hour with her, and always enjoyed the time we spent chatting, and laughing, as we prepared treats for everyone. She will be sorely missed--she was a very lovely person.

Uncle John, John John, Mary, Dennis and Tracy,
My heart is breaking for all of you. I will always remember fondly the fun times I had as a child at family gatherings at Uncle John's and Aunt Toni's, Aunt Toni's spaghetti dinners with the bay leaf which no one wanted on their plate since the joke was always whoever got it had to do the dishes! She was a funny, sweet and gentle person and those are the memories I will keep with me always. God Bless.

Dear John and Mary,
I am so sorry for your loss, words can not express how saddened I am over the loss of your mother. Also to your father whom must be beside himself. I only meet her a few times and she was always very sweet. My heart goes out to you John. My thoughts will be with you and your family in this very tragic time.
