Oh no! I am so sorry to hear this. :( My condolences to the Gamma Sigma Sigma family.

I had the honor of knowing this woman and she indeed was an inspiration to every Gamma Sig. I am glad I got to see her one last time at our last Convention, who would have known that would have been the last time. :(

Instead of being sad I am rejoicing at her life and having the courage to found our organization! As Gamma Sigs let's remember the legacy of service she left behind for us to continue!

The Guestbook is still open for signatures, just click on her name in the first post and the Guestbook link is on the bottom of the page. You can also find Memorial Service information, many of us here in Atlanta will be attending as Atlanta was Marvyn's current home.

R.I.P. Dear Soror, we love and miss you already.
