Dear Roger and family. I’m so sorry to hear of Marilyn’s passing. Fr. Norbert announced it at the 4 pm Mass this past Saturday. I will keep you and the family in my prayers. I enjoyed keeping in touch with Marilyn every now and then on Facebook, especially after you left Mountain Home. I know you’ve been gone quite a while. I was Roger Perreault’s wife. He was the Financial Secretary for the Knights for 10 years. He died back in March of 2020 right before COVID. You gave us a beautiful cherry wood paten one Sunday morning when you were doing your job as an usher. I treasure that plate and will till the day I die. So many beautiful memories of St. Peter’s and Mountain Home.
