I have been truly blest by being able to get to know Marilyn and Harvey over the past few years. First on North 5 then North 3. Her smile was contagious. You couldn't help but smile back. She never complained. I have been able to see the love between her and Harvey. This unconditional love was always overflowing from them both. I will miss you!

Memories are wonderful to have. Mary and Harv were members of the golf league I played in each week. I always looked forward to a round of golf with Harv. We would discuss many topics from politics, news, life, our families, and, eventually, Michigan and Michigan State. We became very good friends during those years. Mary would anxiously wait for us to finish our round of golf and the three of us would spend time talking. Those memories are special.
She was a close friend. I will miss her.##imported-begin##Bob and Carole Gibner##imported-end##
Our sincerest sympathies go out to all who knew, and inevitably were touched by, Aunt Mary. I am so very fortunate to have gotten to know you, even if only late in life. I will always remember your gentle demeanor, your kind, kind soul, and the immense and obvious love and adoration that you had for Uncle Harvey. I will remember the constant twinkle in your eyes, and I will remember all of the guidance that you gave me out on the links--often without needing to say a word. You will be missed dearly, but you will always be with us in spirit and in memory.
With love and remembrance,
Vicki (DeYoung) & Kevin Lance.##imported-begin##Vicki (DeYoung) Lance##imported-end##
