Robin, your message is beautiful and says so much about Marian as a mom, friend and person. I still remember (fondly) the trip to California so many years ago and how Marian and Elmer Fudd made us laugh hysterically. What a wonderfully crazy couple they made :). There was never a void of love in your family and that will forever be etched in my heart and head. Marian has left this world, but she leaves behind a wonderful husband, two wonderful children, and exceptional, caring grandchildren. This is her legacy and how beautiful it is!
Much love, Bobbie Steelman-Brunk
