Marilyn expressed the following, "I received a song in my heart from my mother who loved to sing and obtained a love of learning from my father, who was a self-taught man; from my husband, I learned forgiveness, and from my nine children, I learned love. I learned to play from my grandchildren and great grandchildren; my friends taught me gratitude; from living life I achieved a sense of humor; from my creator I received all this plus a wonder-filled life. From such richness 'my cup runneth over' and a new life beckons." The Mass of Christian Burial will be offered Thursday at 11:00 a.m. at St. John Vianney Church, 4101 Clyde Park SW with Fr. Mike Alber, celebrant. Entombment in Resurrection Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to Faith Hospice at Trillium Woods.
