Mom's only request is that you wear something red. In lieu of flowers, donations in Marilynn's name may be made to Hudson Valley Hospice.
There are no words to express how I feel. You have been supportive of myself and my family since day one. Even when we changed everything with taking in our nieces you remained positive and supportive. You have always made me feel as family. You will be remembered for many more things than I can say.
To Paul & family,
We are so very sorry to hear of Marilynn's passing. Our very deepest sympathy to all the family. You're in our thoughts & prayers!
Love,
Tom & Michelle Arnold
I will miss our marathon phone calls, (we joked about our record being 4 hrs and 10 minutes!), the visits, the advice, the support and the love she gave me the past 40 years. She was always there for me.
