Marnie Meyers wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Folks, Marni and I grew up in Windsor, both with the name Marilyn. My little brothers couldn't say the name and it became Marnie. Marni liked it and adopted it too. I recall us sneaking an unfiltered Camel cigarette from her Dad's pack and smoking it in the woods. Other than our naughtiness, it was a good childhood. Lately, we have not seen each other very often but there's a place in my heart for my childhood friend. All My Sympathies, Marnie Meyers (Marilyn Peck)”
