Gary, My heart is so heavy with sorrow for you, your daughters and families. When the passing of some one so loved and cherished, comes so suddenly; there is no time for our hearts, minds and souls to adjust, or even begin to comprehend what has happened. I pray that you will feel God's presence and His love through family and friends that surround you. Gary, I remember at one reunion, I shared my admiration and respect to Marilyn & you, for the wonderful, "picture perfect" marriage you two shared. The love and deep friendship you both shared in each other was unmistakable and so obvious. My thoughts of Marily the last few days always seem to be of her smile and laughter,her tremendous kind spirit and giving nature. I was also remembering Wendy's 1st birthday party, and a month or so later, my son's, Judson. We were both "New Momma's" and she always seemed so calm, a "Natural". I know that "The Class of 69" has always been praised for the closeness we all share, a certain unexplainable "bond". Gary, it is not possible for me to attend the services for Marilyn on Friday, and I do hope it is a Celebration of Her Life! But, please know this: You and your families are in my constant thoughts and prayers. May the power of God help you get through the hours, days, nights till we all have the Great Reunion on the other side. Your friend & Classmate Sharon (Faulkner) Yeager
