Lori, Sheri and Lemons family. What a shock it was to read of Marilyn's passing. Marilyn and I worked together at Marathon for many years. After I retired we would get together at Dietsch Brothers for ice cream a couple of times a year. We had just gotten together in December of 2022. Marilyn was a wonderful Christian lady, she will be missed.
