Personal note from Marilyn's Friend Brad

Marilyn was a friend and loved one to many. She was loving, unselfish, supportive, and giving. Qualities she clearly taught her children and grandchildren.

If you've had a loved one close to your heart pass, you understand the grief Marilyn's family is experiencing. To ease their burden I asked if I might help in some ways, hence this website as well as a Go Fund Me page*.

Marilyn chose to be cremated and requested that each of her immediate family have some of her ashes placed in a piece of jewelry so that she would always be close to their hearts.

On behalf of the Gilberts and Bretts, thank you for your compassion and friendship. Wishing you good health and safety during this unusual time in each of our lives.

Respectfully,
Brad
