May God bless your family during these sad times. I was Marylyn's supervisor when she worked as the lunch lady. She did make the days better for all the students she came in contact with each day. I can remember her kind words and gracious smile. On a more personal note, Marylyn gave me a unexpected gift. She told me she grew up in Belgrade Montana, that is where my grandparents lived. My grandfather was the banker. She had wonderful memories about the life back then and remembers the getting rolls of nickels from the banker on Halloween. We will miss her at Franklin Pierce and we were glad she was one of our lunch ladys!
