Condolence: Loving mother, great friend, heart of gold, kind, caring, nurturing, generous. Marilyn was all this and more. She loved her children and grandchildren, each and every one for their own merits and beyond, just because…
Marilyn swallowed life’s disappointments, which are never few, and kept them down with her inevitable ray of sunshine, hoping to never let them show. How could we not miss her? Our hearts go out to her children and grand children; their sorrow surely must seem inconsolable. I believe she would say “but that’s life, and we must go on.” May the love of family and friends see you through; peace be with her and also with you.
Our sincere gratitude to Tommy and Nena for uniting this unique lady with our family.

Condolence: Our deepest sympathies are with Tom, Lisa and the rest of your family. Your love and dedication to your family shows in the numerous kind deeds we've witnessed in you and your children. May God welcome you into his tender embrace. Love, the Inoue family (San Jose).

Condolence: Marilyn was a wonderful lady who had a positive impact on so many. We were blessed to have her in our lives and will always miss her.

Condolence: My heart goes out to Marilyn's family. I was fortunate to have known your mom for many years in Florida. She was so committed to helping her patients and others who had no one to help them. She was kind, honest, and a true friend. She will be missed.

Condolence: My sincere condolences to all of the Santoro/Roche families. I have so many, many great memories of growing up across the street from the Roche family. What fun times we had. I know also that my mom and dad so enjoyed the many days and nights of fun and practical jokes that I am sure Marilyn was in on with Bob. I am sure they will have many fun times now together once again.

Condolence: Forever In Our Hearts.. Love You....

Condolence: Joanne(who is currently in rehab after pneumonia) told her daughter that Marilyn was a true friend and someone she could talk to about things that mattered. She was always looking out for others. She will was truly loved by many and will be missed. God's peace and comfort be with her family as you trust in God's promise of eternal life.

Condolence: Marilyn you are the strength of this family. As two families came together as one, we learned to love each other, laugh and cry with each other and now comfort each other. A gift that you had given us. Teaching us what a family truly is. I love you Marilyn

Condolence: Grandma, I have so many great memories with you. You were a wonderful woman, and I will miss you so much. Though these past few months were hard I cherish the time that I got to spend with you. I will never forget the joy I saw in you when you met Dylan for the first time and I am so happy that you got to meet him and hold him. I love you so much and miss you so much already. I know that you are at peace now.. My prayers are with my family at this difficult time.

Condolence: Marilyn will be sorely missed by all who knew her. It always made my day when I saw her, she was so full of happiness and great humor. She was an inspiration to me and many, many other women. Prayers for peace and comfort to her family.
Love, Ally Bergmann
