    So sorry to hear about Marlyn passing. She was a really sweet lady and I enjoyed the time we spent together working in the eviserating department at Schneiders. She had a great sense of humour and even taught me how to use skype. She will be missed by many people she touched in different ways.

    To the Johnson family: I had the great fortune of getting to know most of you through Marlyn’s stay at Craigwiel Gardens. I have never met a more loving and compassionate family from Glen on down to his wonderful children and their families! I know that Marlyn was an exceptional wife, mother and grandmother by the way her family cared for her during her stay with us. If everyone loved like the Johnson’s loved, the world would be a better place! My deepest sympathies to all of you! I will miss you.
