Marilyn, you were a real inspiration to me you will be dearly missed
Marilyn was a dear friend. We spent time together going on errands, to restaurants, and to her favorite-the library. She loved Dove chocolate and we made sure she had Dove chocolate in reserve. She enjoyed her morning tea with her chocolate. She was an absolute joy to be with! I will truly miss our time together. She told me that we were “soul mates”. I will truly miss her. Blessings to her family.
Marylyns step insight program was a lifesaver for me when I was a young mother. Where can I get a copy and step program for a troubled grandson
Her insight step by step program helped me a great deal.
Is it possible to buy the insight program for a friend
Marilyn was an absolute joy to have in our program! She was one of the most appreciative individuals that we have ever met. Her lovely personality and infectious smile will be dearly missed. It was truly a privilege to know her. Condolences to her loved ones and friends.
Marilyn was a dear friend of many years. She was inspiring, always encouraging, honest, with her sense of humor ever present.
We met and worked together on a motivational program, and although I was her supervisor, she became my teacher. Her authenticity, empathy and guidance helped many of our clients to improve self esteem and gain confidence. And after I moved out of State in 90’s, we continued our friendship long distance, phoning one another twice a month.
During many of our conversations, she talked lovingly of her sons, her granddaughter Lauren, niece Jodi and nephew Roland.
Marilyn was a remarkable woman. Her beautiful, bright spirit lives on.
Good job Marilyn!
I will miss you.
My condolences to her family and friends.

I am very saddened to hear this . I was Marilyns hair stylist for close to 25 years. I knew something was wrong when her nephew canceled her last appointment. I did not know if it was appropriate to ask why because she always canceled if need be. I found Marilyn a very complex but insightful person. We often got into very deep conversations and saw eye to eye on most things. We always agreed we didn’t see things as most people did. Narrowed it down to old souls. I will miss you Marilyn and hope you have found the peace you deserve!
