To say your mom had a positive influence on me would be a real understatement! Back in the 1990s we served together on the Young Women's Resource Center Board. She was a real mentor to me and I remember many dinners together at Cosi Cucina when we would eat great food, she would drink some Scotch and we would talk until closing! She was one passionate, savvy, classy businesswoman and I admired her wit (that laugh!) and her judgment and her integrity. Sorry for your loss - but if you were lucky enough to have crossed paths with Marilyn in your life - you know you were blessed with quite a gain! Blessings to all of you as you remember this spunky lady!

I am sorry to see of your mothers passing.
It reminded me that many years ago that I was helping your dad bale hay.Your dad said to one of you two boys take the water jug and fill it up with water in which you did . Your dad took a drink of it then I did too. Your dad said where did you get this water and the reply was from the stock tank .I still laugh about this yet today
