It is so hard to believe Marilyn is now resting in the arms of our Lord and Savior. Our deepest sympathy with Marilyn’s family. Schatzie and Shontaye, remember your mother’s love and the love she had for the Lord. I know in my heart she was very proud of you both. Hold on to the memories. Many blessings to you guys – love you both. Michelle and Adrian Scott.
