Marilyn was my sweet Auntie. She has always been extra special to me and one of the kindest women I've known. When I was just a tiny little thing, my family, along with my 2 sisters and I traveled up to Gunnison CO on a very snowy day to spend Christmas with Auntie and her family. We were always thrilled to spend time with our 3 cousins, whether we were laughing, fighting or teasing each other uncontrollably. Their family moved frequently and at one time they lived in Illinois. My younger sister and I decided to go back home with them when they here visiting CO and rode in the back of their station wagon all the way. Five crazy cousins trapped in a car together for way too long but we had a blast. Most Christmases when I was growing up were spent together and the memories are still so very strong. My sisters and I loved dressing up and pretending we were at a dance. Auntie gave us several gorgeous gowns from her younger years, to play with. We probably wore the dresses out. Our love for Auntie Marily, Uncle Wil and our cousins is well set within our hearts forever. Thank you Auntie for being so wonderful to us all. We miss you already.
