Condolences & Memories (4 entries)

  • We were so shocked to hear of our niece and cousin, Marilyn's, premature passing. Our thoughts and love go out to all her family and colleagues. Judy Samples (cousin) and Pearle Bradley (Aunt) - Posted by: Judy Samples (Second-cousin) on: Feb 24, 2014

  • It was indeed a pleasure to have known and collaborated with Marilyn over the years and I would, at this time, like to express my heartfelt condolences to her close friends and family members. While death and taxes are certain, Marilyn and I, upon engaging in contract work, soon came to realize that while payment for psychological services is often quite uncertain it, nevertheless, still makes for great conversation. Fare thee well respected colleague. - Posted by: Vern Kebernik (collegue) on: Feb 24, 2014

  • Marilyn, I'll miss your laugh, your wisdom and most of all your friendship over the past 18 years... rest peacefully my dear friend... you will never be forgotten by Rich, myself, Brendon and Mykyla... - Posted by: Rich and Deidre Anderson (Colleague and friend) on: Feb 22, 2014

  • My Aunty Marilyn was so giving, so kind, so understanding, so funny, so strong, so smart! So compassionate and so much more. I have been crying all day since I heard. We were a lot alike in some ways and she is wearing the glasses I am getting - planned on getting! Earl, she talked so much about you, I wish I had met you. I know you will keep her alive in your heart. - Posted by: Pat Tyhurst (neice) on: Feb 22, 2014
