I am so sorry to hear of Marilyn’s passing. Marilyn and I went to Swansea Public School as well as Western Commerce together. We later both worked for Ontario Hydro and often spoke in the hall or in our lunch hour. She will be missed. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this sad time. Take care.

Thank you so much for taking the time to express your sympathies, it truly means so much to me at this very difficult time. You obviously knew her quite well given how far back your history goes and indeed she will be missed by those who knew and loved her. Once again, thank you.
