Marilyn's final thoughts: "I also want to acknowledge my spiritual family whose prayers filled me with the graces I needed to cope with the ordeals of cancer. All of my "families" blessed me with their love and sustained me with their prayers. I could not have done anything if not for all of them. What a blessing I was given to know how much I am loved. Love never ends---I love you all." Marilyn's family would like to thank the staff at the Hospice House for their compassionate care during her final days. In lieu of flowers, her family requests that material tributes be made to St. Dominic Church Building Fund, 77 East Lucius Ave., Youngstown, OH 44507.
