My dearest, much loved friend, I will miss you.
Walking to Yorke Road Infant school together, then onto Harvey Road Junior and finally to Ricky Grammar School. Holding hands, riding our imaginary ponies, across the Green at Croxley, and 'tethering' them behind the Church so that they wouldn't be stolen! Building camps by the stile at the top of the Green, making our way down to the River Chess and laughing until we could barely stand. Then onto dancing at Kingham Hall, boyfriends, Chris and Peter, marriage, outings with four lovely children, Daniel, James, Elizabeth and Ali; holidays shared.
Your gentleness, generosity of spirit, wise counselling, and love will always be with me. And even though our paths, at times, went in different directions, we never strayed from that friendship and I knew you were always, always there.

How I will miss my lovely friend. Lots of happy memories of meals , parties talks and walks together. She was so easy to be with, there was no effort needed. She was always interested in others and in so many things. Never judgemental. We were looking forward to painting together and sharing books. She was a hugely empathetic and kind person, and put others before herself. She adored Chris and her lovely ‘children ‘ . I will always remember the patience and determination with which she faced her awful illness, always gentle and smiling, never complaining. She was very special. Mel B.

Marilyn was a person that you couldn't not love. She was soft spoken and kind. When I met her for the first time I liked her right away. I told Malcolm I feel like I now have a sister. Whenever we came to England her and Chris were very hospitable to us. The one thing I will never forget about her is that she was very close to Chris. She always sat close to him and walked holding his hand. She loved him very much and it showed. She raised two wonderful children along with Chris. You can just tell the kids were raised with a lot of love. All in all she was a wonderful girl inside and out and Malcolm and I will miss her always. Say hello to your dad Marilyn for us.
