Blaine: So sorry to hear of this news. We just spoke before Christmas. I know she was lonely, but in good spirits. I invited her to call me for Christmas night. Would have had her over for dinner. I guess she was not up for it. Anyways, I'll never forget her laughter, it was unique. Marilyn was among the nicest people I have had the pleasure of meeting. We will surely miss her, but I will always think of her when Scruffy walks me past your house. Be glad in knowing that both of your parents were by your side for quite some time. I believe Marilyn will be happy again when she gets to see Bob. We are considering making a donation to the Boys and girls Club in her name. Hope this would be appropriate as she used to knit for needier children. Best wishes to you and yours. Feel free to contact me at any time. Maybe we should do lunch sometime before you depart for Florida. We remain yours truly , the Oberst clan.
