Marilyn, Margo and Family, I wish I could be there to comfort you as you grieve. I’m holding you in my heart. Please know that your friends love you and are here for you.
I remember the first time I met Marilyn and Fred. They drove hundreds of miles in the dead of a late, snowy winter night to pick up Margo and me in Heartland. They were both so warm and welcoming. As we got to know each other, I loved that Fred would let me tease him mercilessly. I would always ask him how did HE manage to catch the eye of Marilyn? (I guess looking like James Dean might have helped) They would have a little chuckle and look at each other. I’ll always remember the love in your eyes when you looked at each other. I saw it every time I was around the two of you.
“I know for certain that we never lose the people we love, even to death. They continue to participate in every act, thought and decision we make. Their love leaves an indelible imprint in our memories.” —Leo Buscaglia
