My Condolences to you Jeff and all of your family on Marilyn’s passing.

It’s not where you go in this lifetime.
It’s who you meet along the way.
Being a longtime friend and graduate with sister Cindy, I first met Marilyn when we played softball together for the Perrysburg Tavern.
Marilyn could light up the field with her smile and rally the team together with her positive can do attitude or have you laughing at the stories she’d tell at the bar after a game.
I will forever cherish that time in my life and the memories that were made.
Please accept my deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
I hope the love and support from family and friends bring you peace during this difficult time.
Keeping you all in my prayers.
