    I wish I’d had the chance to really know Marilyn. Tragic all ‘round when people are taken for reasons we are not fully allowed to understand. Only the universe can and will address.

    I am so deeply saddened by the loss of my “Auntie” Marilyn. She was a graceful beautiful soul, and will not be forgotten. The love that was shared between Kent and Marilyn was admirable. I have so many wonderful memories.

    To Uncle, David, Nancy, James and Matthew, I am so sorry for your loss, my heart is with you.

    I have very fond memories of Marilyn growing up. She was like a second mother to me. I always looked forward to the summers when she and Kent would visit my family at the cottage. We had so much fun through those years. I hope she is in a better place with my dad.

    Curt and I offer our most sincere condolences to Kent and the Wilson family. Marilyn will be so greatly missed. I have such wonderful memories of our 5 mile walks in Fountain Hills and all of her great stories she would tell me as we walked. Even though Marilyn was 14 years older than I was, she was in much better shape from being a lifelong runner and swimmer. I would be huffing and puffing and she wouldn’t break a sweat. Marilyn was such a lovely and gracious host when when we would come over for dinner or cocktails. She was a witty conversationalist and the four of us had many great times in Arizona and when we visited Toronto a few years ago. Although I am very saddened by her passing I know that she is in a better place where she can be free to run and swim once again in heaven. Rest in peace my friend. You will be missed.

I feel grateful to have had the chance to share a friendship with her over the past years. She always had something cleaver and interesting to talk about. I will miss her and the future times we could have spent together sharing a cocktail and talking about the good times. Her memory shall live on.
