Even though I am unable to visit or attend Marilyn’s service, I still would like to send my heartfelt thoughts and prayers to her family. She was a thoughtful and caring woman who will be missed. God bless.
I remember seeing Marilyn around. The Henley family was known here in Mooresville. I was a friend of Barbara in high School. I was able to attend her funeral. So sorry for the loss of Marilyn. Prayers for the family.
