You are missed so dearly my friend. You were one of a kind and I will be forever grateful for all you did for me and my family. Thank you for being in my life.
Your love for life and animals and dance was incredible. You made me laugh until I cried and you helped me when I was at my lowest.
You are an angel. I love you and kiss you ??  nad xx

Marilyn was my colleague, Class of 2008, in our gallery instructor group at the MFA, Boston.  She was curious, spirited, dedicated, and fun to talk to.  I am so very sorry to hear of her passing, and so inspired to hear of all that she contributed to Boston and the arts.  I salute her.

Dear Frank,

I am so sorry to hear of Marilyn’s passing. Because of Covid I was not in touch with her in the past two years and did not know that she was ill. However, I do remember her fondly as a fellow GI while we were active guides at he MFA. I also had the pleasure of following one of her tours as a shadowing GI. Marilyn was always such a positive force and enthusiastic guide while in the GI program. I was so impressed how she leaned into her students and engaged them into personally experiencing the art.

She obviously touched many individuals through the programs she initiated and must have made all her family so proud.

May her memory be a blessing to you in this difficult time.

Marilyn was a GI colleague -- I did not know her well, but she stood out as one of the most enthusiastic!  I have led many tours for students at the MFA over the last 20 years and mentored many guides, but Marilyn was unique in her ability to get her students to engage with the objects that she loved to share.
With fondness, Ivy Cubell
