To the Dear Stearns Family - I was very saddened to hear about Marilyn.  Marilyn and Dave go way back with my family - (Bob and Barbara Merriam) - and I have many fond memories of them.  Marllyn was always such a lady with a true flair for life - and always a very loving, caring and giving person. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.   Susan Merriam Klunis

Hi Mom, Happy Birthday to you!!  Your twin sister Mary Lou will be up here at my house to celebrate.  You always made parties so much better.  I am thinking of you and wondering what I will make for all of our guests - whose thoughts will turn to you on this special day of your birth.  I hope you are having a nice time with brother Bob.  I heard they threw a huge party for you. i love you.

I never knew you, but I have grown to love you because of the things your dear brother Jess & your family have said about you.  I am so sorry we never had the chance to meet.  Your birthday is the same day as my beloved grandmother Ruth.  So, I will always remember your special day.  Lee Trevor-Belton

she was the most loving & sweet caring human in my life.  The love she gave to all those she met not be measured.   Her love & caring  for those she was close to meant  much to everyone & especially her siblings.  She was the consumate hostess anytime she was to cook or entertain for the evening. She will always be remembered for her selflesss efforts to make me feel welcome.  Love Jess
