Words can't express the profound loss felt from Cousin Marilyn's passing. My deepest sympathy to her loving family, Michael, Alexandra, Jeff, Emerson, Stewart and Erica. I think of Marilyn as a caring person who would go the extra mile for her family and friends. Her smile lit a room and her laugh was contagious. Marilyn possessed a love of life and it's hard to imagine her not being here to share that with us.

My thoughts and prayers go out to all of you. Marilyn and I worked together at Kimball Hill Homes. Her personality and smile were infectious! She always had a smile and laughs in her. Marilyn introduced me to her cousin Gary Kahn who informed me of her passing. Marilyn loved her family and when we spoke always had some fun times with them to share with me. This is an ultimate loss and truly sad time.

Absolutely heartbroken to hear of Marilyn’s passing. She was such a wonderful neighbor to me and my son Noah when we were in Buffalo Grove. I loved chatting with you on our driveways. You were so kind, caring, welcoming, funny and just an all around beautiful soul. You will be greatly missed by me, Noah and David.

Sincerest condolences to Alexandra and Michael, and all who Marilyn loved and admired. Marilyn was definitely a positive force who left an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all who knew her. While most of you aren't familiar with me, Marilyn and I were childhood friends in Skokie. The Flosses lived next door to us on Hull Street. Marilyn and I were constantly running back and forth between her house and mine. Clara, Jerry, Robin and Marilyn house were a second house to my sister GailAnn and me. I regret being so young and not having the presence of mind to ask Clara for her plum tart recipe! I moved to Arizona in 1977, and life has not brought me back there very often except for a few happy and many sorrowful occasions. Please know that Marilyn has been in my mind and heart, and will remain there. May Marilyn's memory, as well as all the Flosses, be a blessing to all who love her.
