Dear Dick, Connie, Tracey, and Marcia,
It is with great sadness that I learned of Marylou's passing. Unfortunately, Dianna and I are in Colorado and will be unable to attend the services. My memories of Marylou go back literally to when we were just a few years old. There were many, many wonderful times at Uncle Gerald and aunt Lois's house, as well as aunt Sarah's and at the mill. In addition, we went through school together from K-12 and had lots of wonderful experiences there. Probably most memorable was chorus with Mr. Crowder. I can remember Marylou's beautiful voice like I was hearing it today, especially her singing the alto solos in Handel's Messiah. I will always remember my beloved cousin (we were actually 2nd cousins and always greeted each other as "cuz") as a friendly, cheerful, and kind person. We didn't see each other often as adults, but I will miss her still, and consider it a great blessing that I was lucky enough to know her and be a part of her family.
My sympathy and love to you all,
Larry Bopp
