I have known Marilyn all of her life. I remember what a beautiful little girl she was. She was still beautiful. She was the pride and joy of my parents, her grand-parents, Roger and Frances Hext, She was prissy and loved attention, well she got it. She had the gift of helping others , always had something good to say to all her customers, while fixing their hair.I had the privilege of visiting with her a few weeks ago, I told her she had a host of angels around her, her daddy, Bobby Watson, James Hext, Roger and Frances Hext, Roger and Mike, and friday afternoon, I looked up into the sky and saw the most beautiful angel, I just know it was Marilyn, saying look up here at me, Aunt Glenda, it stayed put for a long time. I did take a picture of it. No doubt, she is up there fluttering around spreading her wings. You will be missed, I loved you very much. Aunt Glenda Munson
