To all of Marilyn's family, So shocked and saddened to read of Marilyn's passing. She was a wonderful person. Always so kind to everyone. We will all see her again in the new system of things, in perfect health the way Jehovah God purposed for all of mankind to be.

On my first day off to college in Concord, I was missing home and the first person I encountered was Marilyn...her familiar face and kind manner gave me such a lift and I will never forget that experience. She was a fine lady and we would like to extend our sincere condolences to her family.

To the LaCroix Family: Please accept my condolences; I am sorry to hear of your loss. When we loss a loved one; sometimes, family & friends can't find the right words to say. I have found that going to God's Word the Bible can bring great comfort. For Jesus own words at John 5:28 & 29 speaks of the resurrection hope. We can see our loved ones again; but under different conditions. This is great comfort. Keep the faith & continue to love each other. Love,
