My Story

I encourage you to remember her and share your thoughts on this memorial page.

As a 9 year-old, it was hard for me to remain in the room at the funeral and so I missed the kind and comforting words spoken that day. That is partially why I have created this memorial. I would truly appreciate hearing any and all of your favorite Marilyn stories, thoughts, insights and advice, as well as seeing any of your favorite Marilyn photos!

-What things remind you of her?
-What time of year do you visit her/spend time thinking of her?
-What was your favorite thing to do with her?
-What do you think she would be up to today if she had not yet passed?

You may also leave notes here that are specifically for Marilyn.
