September 18, 2024 at 8:21 pmFamily may God’s Love give you Comfort, Peace and Strength to carry you on. I will miss all the time Marilyn (RawSugar) & I spent together and all of the early morning and late night phone calls. Sometimes she’ll just call and say Auntie please pray with me. She never failed to say how much she loved her family and how proud she was of each one. It’ll be hard to overlook the life of someone who shared so much Love and Compassion. Truly Missed! Much Love to my dear Family.

September 26, 2024 at 3:27 pmMy sincere sympathy is with the entire family. I have known Marilyn ever since we were very young kids in the Moton Park community. Our families were extremely close during that time. It’s been well over 30 years since I last saw her. Her passing hit really hard, but I know God is too wise to make mistakes. Rest well Marilyn, I’ll see you in the morning
