Hailey Adams says
Nana, it’s been 9 months without and I’m still at loss for words… There’s not a day that goes by where you don’t pass my mind. You were one beautiful, strong and loving lady. You always gave it your all, never gave up a fight. You were truly unique and an out standing women. You were more than just a grandmother to me, you were also my best friend. I’ll never forget the days we would sit for hours and just talk about life. I’ll never forget the day where you saw me score my first goal in hockey. There’s just so many things you were there for. I’ve been missing you more than ever and I only wish to talk to you one last time. Get one last hug. I love you forever and always. I’ll always keep my promise to you. Shine bright like always Nana.

To, Marilyn’s Family
God Bless your family at this difficult time. Marilyn was a very special person. She had a heart of gold. I was so happy to drive you to the hospital when you asked me too. Psalms 116:15 Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

John & Barb Rowley says
Raymond, Edith, David & Family, John & Family, Bob, Jenn and Crystal and families. Our sincere condolences on the loss of such a warm, caring and remarkable person. She loved her family so much. She was always a person that thought of others often. She loved a good party and making sure milestones were celebrated. The day she told me she was planning a surprise Anniversary Party for her parents I was like there she goes again not worrying how she is feeling only that we have a party to celebrate her parents who she loved so much. She was a lady with great organizational skills. I will miss the many phones calls from her with Rob’s List of items that he wonders if John has. She has had a rough road the past few months but now that is behind her and she is at peace. Likely organizing another great get together because that is who she is. RIP Marilyn! xo
Sincerely,
John, Barb , Scott & Sarah Rowley

Bonnie and Ken Pratt says
Edith, Raymond, Bob and Family, we are thinking of you at this very sad time. Marilyn was such a fun loving person who always could bring a smile to your face. We have so many very funny memories of the mixed bowling league in Alliston when the girls and I bowled with one of the “B” twins. With the kibitzing of Uncle Charlie the bowling was just a reason to get together. She loved milling around Bob’s Sales and was oh so proud of her girls and her grandchildren. She was a family person who made the best of her life with you. She is at peace now, may God be with you all at this time. Love Bonnie and Ken Pratt and family
Gloria Merklinger says
I admired Marilyn for the kind of person that she was. So willing to help Family and Friends. She loved to plan a party like when she organized Ray and Edith’s anniversary party. She loved family and friends getting together.
I will really miss her
Love to all of her Family
