Marilyn was my sister nearest in age to me in my early years growing up on Freeman steet in the Northside of Houston. Our mother worked to help support our family. Marilyn filled the void and I looked to her for support when I had a problem in those early years and she was always there to comfort and take care of me. I have fond memories of those years until she went off to college. I was a junior in high school at that time and had the confidence she provided me to face whatever tribulations I might face as I grew into manhood. I thank God that she was there for me in those early years of my life. Later, after she and Michael moved to La Marque, I spent numerous weekends at their home enjoying her cooking and she and Michael’s company. Thank you “Tootsie” for being there for me when I needed it. Your loving brother, Jon
