We are so sorry for your loss. We loved Marilyn very much and were so lucky to have known her. We are praying for you and are here if you need anything. We love you.
Johnny, Elizabeth and the Boys
Allen - My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
I'm so sorry to hear of Marilyn’s passing. Loosing a loved one is never easy. I lost my dad in 2010, and my mom in 2012. After my losses, reading Revelation 21:3,4 gave me real comfort. It says: And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away. I hope reading these verses also give you comfort during this difficult time. GW
It was such a joy to sing with Marilyn in Omaha Symphonic Chorus. I still think of her every time I go by the home where she lived at that time. Blessings and peace be with each of you in her family. Singing friend, Sharon Struve
Condolences to you and your family Praying for you all
I would like to express my deepest sympathy to the Katz family for the loss of Marilyn. The Bible calls death an enemy.-1 Corinthian 15:26. God promises that soon he will wipe all tears from our eyes, and eliminate death, pain and mourning.- Revelation 21:4. Until then may God comfort you and grant you the strength to endure this difficult time.
Sincerely,
My deepest condolences to Marilyn's family and friends. Marilyn leaves a beautiful legacy of children, grandchildren and great grandchildren to carry on her exuberance & zest for life. I remember her sense of humor and quick wit, and mostly for the way she loved her family. She was a force of nature, and will be greatly missed.
I am one of Marilyn's first cousins and the only one left in my family. My father and Marilyn's father were brothers. I'm very sorry to hear of her death and send my best to the family.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you Julie & the rest of the family. You were a wonderful daughter..
