Don and Family,
It's always difficult to lose the contact of our loved ones, but when it is someone who is so intricately woven into our daily lives the loss is devastating. Remember God has a plan for us and really I am not surprised Marilyn finished her tasks first and now lives surrounded in His eternal love. You know God loves us; let Him comfort you all in these harrowing days of adjustment. May you each find peace in memories of the love and caring Marilyn gave us.
My deepest sympathies, Jan

Don and family,
What a shock to learn of the passing of Marilyn. You all have our deepest sympathy and prayers during this difficult time. Marilyn was such a great close friend to my Mom (Alfreda) and I know that Mom loved spending time with her or chatting on the telephone and their trips to Tiffin, OH together. Marilyn lit up Mom’s life in so many ways. What a great neighbor and friend who will be missed by so many. May you find peace in the promises of the risen Jesus.

Dear Don and family
I knew Marilyn while Dan and I were in the seminary and had opportunity to visit at the Ring household. What a fine family.
The oldest daughter obviously was a very responsible woman, not only as a daughter, but as a mother, wife, grandmother and Catholic Christian
May she share in eternal life with Jesus
