Sugar Mama,
I shall miss you very dearly. You were and will always be my role model because your such a beautiful and strong woman. I will miss sitting on your lap reading about Sarah, Percy, and Little Bill. You told me you’d hold me till my feet were hanging out the window. I wish I would’ve hit my growth spurt sooner! I shall always hold a place in my heart for you. You told me after what has happened in the past year for me that, life isn’t long enough. I think about you everyday and remind myself about how dearly missed people are when they are gone. You can never say what you need to say. I still think Nettie’s hiding you downstairs and your watching Big Joe’s Polka Show. I’ve been told your really gone, but your never gone. Your my guardian angel that I take with me everywhere. I’ve learned in the past five months that some good-byes really are forever. I will miss you very much. But I will see you in my memories that we have made and shared together.
Love,
Sugar Baby

Always offered the best advice with a smile. I am saddened to hear of her passing.. She left a legacy here on Earth that will not soon be forgotten.
Praying for you all. May this be a time of many shared memories. Marilyn touched our lives with her strength, big heart, and always made us feel loved and welcome. She will be missed!
