Aunt Marillyn was one of the sweetest souls I’ve ever met. I will cherish the times I spent with her forever. Her and Uncle Frank have no doubt enjoyed a glorious reunion. Emmalee, Sofia and I send our love to Jimmy, Frank, Deanna and the kids.
Rest In Peace Mrs C we will always remember your kindness and how welcome you made us all feel.
Aunt Marilyn! I fondly remember many many Sundays growing up in Pittsburgh, adults having coffee and playing cards. Uncle Frank was always there with you and of course our cousins Frank and Jimmy. Oh and that poppyseed cake!! Those were the days however I imagine they can’t compare to your heavenly forever home now.
Cherishing the memories,
Marilyn and Bob Standish
I will always remember Aunt Marilyn’s smile and how sweet and gentle she was. And, I know that I will never taste a poppy seed cake to compare to hers and will think of her always when I see that treat and say a silent thanks for introducing us. Know that she put that smile on my face as well. Love
Mary Ann
Frank and Jim,
We are very sorry to hear of your mom’s passing. She was a beautiful person, both inside and out. I always thought she looked like a model. We have so many happy (and some very silly) memories of your family, and all of our Trinity family at church, traveling, and at many gatherings. God bless you. Much love, Bonnie, Mike and Nicole and family.
Jim,
I am so very sorry to read of your Mom’s passing. I am very happy I got visit your Mom when she was in the nursing home here in Penn Hills. I will cherish that memory. She was a lovely lady and am sure you will truly miss her. If you need anything, even just to talk, contact me.
Love you,
Marie Dempsey & Family
