Joe,
I am so sorry to hear of Marilyn's death. She was such a special person. My favorite memory is sharing my "expertise" when she started St Malachy's School yearbook. She really didn't need my guidance, but she was so gracious to ask my help. I really got to know her then for the remarkable lady she was. My prayers are with you all.

Joe,

I was saddened to hear of Marilyn's passing. She has battled so many problems in the past few years and yet she stayed so strong both physically and emotionally, which was such was an inspiration to me. Even on her bad days she was looking forward to the next day being a good day.

As Marilyn and I had met only a few years ago, my one regret is that I did not know her in good health. I wish her Godspeed in her new life where she is free from a body filled with sickness and pain. Just think - she is now singing, complete with a smile lighting up her face, in the Great One's choir! How cool is that?!?

Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family today and in the days to come.

Dru

Joe, Alex and Kayla, Ben and Steffanie, Abby, and families,
Deepest sympathy to you all. I was sad to hear the news. It was a great joy having Marilyn as my daughter Kate's Godmother and being a Godfather to you Alex. In my early years of marriage, Jeanne and I spent so much time enjoying our friendship with Marilyn and you Joe and having the thrill of becoming new parents and raising the children we love. Helping Joe mow Marilyn's mother's yard using ropes, eating meals together at the farm, singing at church and hearing Marilyn sing "Bless this child", and watching play productions of Joe's are just a few of the good memories. There were also sad and tough times shared. May God bless her to heaven and comfort you all with remembering her love for you. My condolences also to Jeanette, Eddie, and the rest of Joe's brothers and sisters and families. Sincerely Wayne F. Anderson Springfield, Illinois

Joe, Alex and Kayla, Ben and Steffanie, Abby and Maison, Ember and Penelope and family,

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you! Marilyn will be missed by so many and I feel so blessed to have her as a friend. I will always remember her smile, her awesome sense of humor and her laugh that was so contagious it would light up a room. With her passing it will leave a void for so many.

She fought so hard and Joe you took such great care of her, but now she is free from the pain and suffering she endured here on earth.

She loved all of you very much and was so very proud of each and every one of you!! I know all of you have great memories of times spent with her, hold those memories close to your heart...........no one can ever take them away from you and they will help you through the difficult days ahead. All of you now have a very special Guardian Angel!

If there is anything I can do for any of you, please let me know.

With Deepest and Heartfelt Sympathy and sending hugs to all of you,

Mary Wassell
