Mom

Not a day goes by that I don’t miss you. I love you forever.

Happy Heavenly Birthday! We miss you more and more each day. You brought the sunshine to our lives and knew how to heal the broken heart. I know the angels are making your favorite cake today! Probably a pie...:). Please always know how important your life was and continues on today. YOU were an angel on earth...TRULY one of God's best creations. And we were so very blessed to have you in our lives and continue to feel your presence in our hearts today! I LOVE YOU AND ALWAYS ALWAYS WILL! Thank you! For everything you did for all your family and all who knew you. xoxo

Mom,

You always made every person and being feel loved and valued. Over yourself you put the needs of family and everyone else. I hope and pray that you are loving heaven. I still feel the gentle touch of your hands. You are dearly missed. I see you in your granddaughters and grandson. Sure wish you could see them. They would love you and you’d love them. Love you always

You loved wildflowers of all kinds. You smiled each time you described them. I’d find them stashed and dried in your books, magazines, boxes…everywhere! Makes me smile. I can see the twinkle in your eyes when you’d tell me what you’d make with the dried flowers. Always delicate and purely beautiful, like you. Oh how I miss you!!! I love you!❤️

Never a day passes that you aren’t missed. It was always the little loving things that you cherished and shared. You continue to be our strength in everyday of our lives. You modeled kindness, love, patience and care in all that you did and in every action you made in your life. You loved your family unconditionally and gave of yourself even when you had little or nothing. We always love you!

Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom! Seems like just yesterday we were out to the dollar store, or Hobby Lobby, getting a treat or visiting. Wasn’t it just yesterday we hugged? I love and miss you more and more each day. And I look to the heavens at night wondering what you’re up to. I am forever grateful for you, and realize more and more what a wonderful woman you were. Thank you for all you did for me. I love you, always will. Xo

Hi Mom,

I’m missing you today just like the day you went to heaven. It still hurts, but I know God needed you back.

Your love and support has sustained me even throughout this pandemic. Thank you Mama. Your loving ways live on in the lives of all those whose lives you touched. You’d be so surprised to know how many people love and miss you. You never thought you’d make a difference....WOW!...this is about the only thing you were wrong about! I love you forever and pray I see you again. Xoxo ❤️

Dear Mom,

You will always and forever be loved and remembered. You were an angel that we were blessed to call our mother. Your loving, kind example of empathy and care for all of your family, friends and all of God’s creatures modeled how to treat others and lift them even in the most trying of times. You were our foundation. We have built our loves from your lessons. We love you! And We miss you!!! Danny

Today marks 5 years that you were brought back to heaven. Mom, so lovely, loving and beloved.

You were full of courage, humility, wisdom, unconditional love, fun loving, with a genuinely caring and a generous spirit, respectful of every living creature, and had an unfailing belief in your children. You provided us the tools to handle life with its many challenges.

We treasure our memories of you and with you. We are the most fortunate to have been held by you, taught by you, loved by you, entrusted to you.

May we honor your legacy by being our best selves and serving others.

With all my love, to our beautiful cherished Mom! Holding you close in my heart. ❤️

Susie

Hi Mom,

It seems not so long ago I left your house, with our usual hug and “I love you”....I still can feel your hug. I close my eyes and hold you tight. Miss you each and every day, yet I know you’re right here. Has it really been 5 years since you went to heaven? Too painful still. Thank you Mama for the example you set, the love you gave, your patience with me, your mischievous laugh, your smile and witty sense of humor. I love you always and forever and know we will hug each other again! Happy Birthday! I’m sure the angels will sing for you today! Holding you close!
I Love you,

Your daughter,

Susie

Dear mom,

I miss everything about you. I pray that you are enjoying eternal peace and that forever you feel our love for you. I know that you remain with us in spirit because I hear you and feel you. Your kindness and selflessness continues to guide us in life and forever. With all my love. Your son Danny. Go For It!

Still. Since you went to heaven 4 years ago. My world became too still. Missed your voice and laughter. It’s when life is most quiet that I find myself speaking with you through the deepest depths of my soul. Missing you. Loving you always. And still, here I sit waiting and wondering when I’ll see you again. It’s so still, yet I know you are with me. You always were and always will. Time is passing yet the moment you left remains so quiet, very still. Love you then, love you now, always will.

Mama,
On 6/27/18 I found it so hard to write on this site...I didn't want to remember you leaving us that day, now three years ago...It seems like it was just yesterday.
Now, when I remember you I remember your mischievous spirit and the laugh at some naughty joke one of my brothers or our kids would tell. I remember your gentleness when someone needed a hug, whether in person or on the phone. You gave so much to make sure others felt at ease, felt loved and important...never focusing on you. But, look what happened! By being you, YOU became more memorable, and left behind your love and inspiring ways. I miss you Mama, each and every day. I miss YOU, your laugh, our talks and our moments when we just sat together and no words needed to be said. Thank you for leaving me your love and always making me feel like I was special to you and truthfully, that was ALL i needed! Give God a hug for me...I am so grateful to Him for giving me my beautiful Mom! I LOVE YOU!

Mom. Your day is around the corner. Everything Susie said is exactly on target. Your gentle touch, kindness and wisdom are deeply missed. Most of all your unconditional love. Everyday we think of you. I know you are in everlasting peace and that you show us signs to make sure we know you are always with us. I love you always. Danny

Precious Mom, never a day goes by that I don't recall a special moment with you, shed a tear or a smile and always look forward to the day when I can hug you again. On your birthday, Mother's Day, your and Dad's anniversary, our birthdays, and each and every day of our lives you still play a special role.You never believed you were smart or talented, pretty or good enough...well on these points you were sorely mistaken...YOU were ALL those things and MUCH MUCH MORE to so many. As I shout to the heavens....I love you Mommy and miss you so very deeply! Happy Mother's Day! I was so blessed to be your daughter. Thank you for loving me and all of us as you did and continue to do. XOXOXO

I miss your smile, charm, sense of humor....I miss everything about you.  Happy birthday! Love and hugs. ❤️❤️

Mom. I think of you, love you and miss you every single day. You are never forgotten.

Tribute from Pat Estrada: Marilyn was more than a friend, the finest person I every knew. She was someone I could trust and she was honorable. She was like a favorite sister. She was caring, thoughtful, warm, funny and smart to name a few of her endless qualities. It was a pleasure and honor knowing her. We miss her tremendously.

Two years ago God decided it was his turn to have you by his side. Your family and many, many loved ones miss you every single day. You made the world a better place because you always looked for the good in every person. You taught us all the definition of true sincere love. Your insights were filled with life lessons that surround us all and guide us. We love you always and hurt without you to hug and hold, but we also know God has embraced you and that you are embracing us from heaven within our hearts and souls forever.

This is a great tribute. It is difficult to look at this page even after 2 years. There is not a day that goes by where I do not think of one of how pure, sincere, honest, unconditional loving, thoughtful, caring person my mother was to her children and every person she met.

She was a true light in everyone's life she met. I love her and miss her dearly. God bless and Rest In Peace. XO

Hi Mom,

Thinking of you all day today, I still feel you at my side every day. What a tremendous gift your life was for so many. You taught us the most important things in life. You taught us how to love and to care. I love you Mom

Two years ago, you left us. Two years, already. We love and miss you so much. XO

One year ago today, we lost you...a true angel. The void you left is immeasurable, the sadness is endless. But, the happy memories of you, and the incredible mark you left in our heart and soul is enduring. May you continue to be a guardian angel to your family; we feel you, always. And may you continue to rest in paradise.

Remembering you today, and always, Grandma Marilyn. We miss you and will never forget all the good times and great memories we shared!

Dearest Mom,

Really miss you, especially today. Happy Morher's Day! I'm sure you are enjoying heaven and are still caring for each of us from afar. I am eternally grateful for your unconditional love, wisdom and inspiration. My brothers and I were the most fortunate of children. I love you now and forever! ❌⭕️

Marilyn was in the miniature group I was a member of in Scottsdale years ago. She was just the sweetest person. I still have quite a collection of the tiny dolls she used to make, she was so talented. RIP dearest lady, I'll miss you.

Dr. Kuntz, Dan, Nora, George, Susie and Tom,
I'm so sorry for your loss. I just heard the news today and my heart goes out to all of you. Mrs. Kuntz was such a loving, sweet and kind soul. I remember her delicious empanadas and big hugs! Her loving spirit is alive in all of you. I pray the deep love you have for each other is a comfort to you now. In friendship, Mary Olson

Though gone from this world, Grandma Marilyn will forever live in our hearts. She was always there with a warm smile and something good to eat , whether you were hungry or not. Seldom do you know someone who always found the good in people, and I am indeed quite fortunate to have known her. While I could tease her about some of her favorite things, Grandma Marilyn could take it and dish it right back.. and we'd both have a good chuckle. I miss her dearly, but am comforted to know that she is at peace and enjoying all the many things that brought her joy. Heartfelt condolences to Doc, Susie, Dan, George, Thomas, Aunt Ginny and the entire family.

This message is for Dr. Dan. Sorry to read about Marilyn's death. She was a wonderful lady. I hope your faith and children keep you well. 

If you want to meet for lunch sometime, let me know. I want to catch up with you and share our adventures.

Susie, Although I was probably in grade school the last time I saw you I think of your Mom every time I see beautiful piñatas at a party. I remember how impressed I was because she made one for your birthday, and how I was certain we should save it and not break it. In my eyes she was always so glamorous. I love the photo you posted of you and your Mom with a cake - you are exactly the way I picture your Mom in my mind. Please know she will live on in you and in the hearts and minds of not only your family, but people like me who's lives she touched along the way. Jeanne (Dziadul) Olcott

Dan, so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I remember her as a loving, caring mother who loved her family deeply.

Susie, I am so sorry for your loss. Your mom was always such a nice person to me, so filled with love for everyone. I know how close you and her were, I know the person you are today is because of her. I feel blessed to have known her, I feel sadness at her passing and I feel joy that her wonderful daughter has been such a life long friend.
My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

Dear "Tia". Thank you for always being there for me. Thank you for your guidance, love and support. You will live in my heart forever. You an Nana are now my angels and I know you are looking after all of us. Your example will inspire me to continue my journey on this earth until we meet again. Until then I pray for the loved ones you left behind,may they find peace and comfort in knowing you are now together with God.

Wherever we are we know you are with us Mom. You gave your children the greatest gift of all...your unconditional love.  We ALL feel this and know no one can take this from us. Such a comfort to us. xoxoxo Miss you my best friend and confidant. Loving you always.

It's impossible to believe she's left us and impossible to ever express how much she meant to her family and friends; she is truly irreplaceable. She had the heart and soul of an angel. We will love and miss her forever.

Marilyn will always be in my heart as a dear dear friend. She had such love, compassion, kindness, and gentleness. We would visit every other week on the phone all about San Luis Obispo her and my hometown where I have lived all my life. We were born at the same time in the same hospital in April 1934. I look forward to seeing her again with the Lord in our hearts in Heaven forever.  God bless her family.

I feel very fortunate to have had the opportunity to meet and get to know Marilyn; a truly remarkable person. She had it all and shared it all with everyone who came in contact with her. She was an angel on earth and now is an angel in heaven.
