I remember Marilyn when I was a little girl...many years ago. My mom and dad were friends with her and Bill when she was Marilyn Haskell...knew each other when they lived in Hawaii. My mom also passed recently and it made me think of other moms I knew in the past. So many have now passed on. It was years since I've seen her and her daughter Susie...Suz...in Durango years ago. After my mom passed, I went through a box with old letters that my mom had kept. There was a really good one from Marilyn circa 1975ish She was a hoot! RIP, Marilyn
