As a child I looked up to my aunt, always admiring her ability to speak her mind with humor and class. She taught me to stand up for what I believe in, even if its gonna grind someone :) I also admired how she and my dad got along, always joking and making sure each knew how much they were loved. I definitely always recognized her influence in my life and feel a deep emptiness now that she has passed. I can imagine how great the loss is for all of you. Jack & the rest of her family and friends, please know I am thinking of you all & praying that you find comfort & peace by sharing her strengths with the world and keeping her loving memory alive. I love you Aunt Marilyn, and love all of you who are grieving her loss. My deepest condolences.
