Marilyn Nelson

Marilyn was such a sweet, dear friend to my mother, Donna Pond. After Mom's stroke in 1999, Marilyn began sending beautiful cards and loving care packages to Mom. She loved receiving them. The packages were filled with treats and personal care items. They were always a treasure to Mom. Mom died Nov 2011. As her health declined, I corresponded with Marilyn. I felt she and I had developed a great friendship. I appreciated her continuous love and support for Mom. May your family be blessed with peace and comfort. Your mother blessed many lives, including mine. Marilyn will be missed! Thanks for sharing her with us!
