Have you ever been in a
courtroom with a judge that delivers his/ her verdict with a resounding bang on the desk with a gavel? That’s how I think of my great aunt, Marilyn
Cheatham-Darby. Not only was she the matriarch of my family, but she was also a
counselor, advisor, comedian, and Get-The-Job done person. She definitely took
care of business. As a child, every summer was spent in California with Auntie
and her family. We would have so much fun laughing, going places, and just
enjoying family. Auntie Marilyn was like the family switchboard lady at the
telephone company. She had every family member’s number and kept in contact
with them. She also introduced us to relatives that we had not known.
She was definitely the glue that held our family together.
That's so true Camille.. what I'd do for a few minutes more.. I love and miss her so much.. thank you Camille
