It’s difficult to know where to begin, but if anyone wanted a friend, Marilyn would be there. Once we graduated, as frequently happens, we each got busy with ‘life’ and eventually lost touch. A few years before our 50th reunion (2009) we rediscovered each other, and our friendship, phone calls, and snail mail picked up and the lost years disappeared. Her loving, caring, sharing heart and joy of laughing, made the years since such fun! We both love the Lord; our next reunion will have no end. See you later girlfriend, with much love, Linda :-)))
