Just hearing the name Marilyn Alexander puts a smile on my face. The Alexanders were my neighbours during my teen years as I grew up in the corner grocery store when they lived on Front St. Marilyn came into our store pretty well everyday. I was also fortunate to be Christine's first evening/weekend babysitter and absolutely loved being there. Each time I sat she had homemade cookies for me to snack on and often they were just out of the oven. She always told me to leave the kitchen as it was but if the dishes needed to be put away or the odd time washed I did it. She would scold me when they came home but I didn't just want to watch TV while Chris was in bed. After returning home from their evenings out Marilyn would walk me back down the street to my place and I found that so funny because she wasn't much older than me and had to walk back by herself. When she was expecting Ian and Wendy and came into the store my dad would tell her to "rest that basketball on the counter to take a load off". She and my dad had a very special bond and when he too passed away suddenly the month before the twins were born Marilyn was devastated. Until they moved away Marilyn would often pop in to visit mom and I with her three little ones. Though we only ran into each other about once a year it was as if we had just seen yesterday and always picked up where we left off. I am sure she is still going around hugging all who have gone all before her (including my parents) as her path crossed so many here on earth. Heaven has gained a beautiful angel and as you cherish your memories of her may it help to know others share in your sorrow but are so thankful for their own special time they shared with Marilyn.
