To the Vincent / Perry family. I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of Marilyn. Growing up, her son John was my best friend from grade school throughout high school. I have many great memories of riding my bike or motorcycle over to Pompeii to hang out with my friend John and visit the family. She was very nice to me, even when I would just show up unannounced (cause that's what we did when we were kids ya know). She was a fantastic lady and has a great family and I will always remember and treasure these times. My heart felt sympathy to the family. Please take care of yourselves and please try to keep in touch.

I will second everything that Dave said. Marilyn was kind beyond words, and I extend my sympathies to her family and loved ones.

Funny how everyone remembers this woman to be this wonderful person and you know I can't remember a time for which she was this person everyone seems to be going on and on about!! The obit never mentions her other son Terry Roe (Shari Roe) or her two step children Verna Perry and Harold Perry so to me that says a lot about the kind of family we were not!! So everyone can go on and remember this woman as some great person but to me she wasn't that great!!

Our sympathy goes out to Marilyn's family & we are sorry for your loss. We have known Marilyn for many years. We met at & attended the Pilgrim Holiness Church in Lansing together. She was a good lady who loved The Lord & served Him the best she could. I know we will see her again in Heaven. Blessings to the family
