I remember back in the day when Hampshire Hills was a hotspot and they always had dancing and Marilyn and her husband used to dance there a lot and she wore almost like a dancing outfit and I remember him after the song caring her off the floor in a very fashionable way! Since my mother designed the house, and my father, built it, I have such fond memories there. We all had such a ball. It was such a safe place to live, and we were friends with all the neighbors. We had. Such fun there!

Just an amazing person that went out of her way to make all employees at Toyota of Nashua feel like they were part of the family. Will always remember her love of our annual Halloween parties at the dealership, she loved attending and had so much fun seeing all the costumes. She will be dearly missed.

So sorry for your loss, "Mrs. P" will be forever in our hearts! Every time I hear a Frank Sinatra song I have such beautiful memories of Mr. and Mrs. P on the dance floor at so many Christmas parties, it always makes me smile. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time and always.
