I can’t imagine the sorrow felt, when someone you love so dearly passes unexpectedly. Your family is in our thoughts, and praying for comfort for you all. The MN Burgus’s love you, Nate!

     So shocked of Marlys Passing. Russ and Marlys were my youth leaders when I was in high School. They were so wonderful. I got to babysit. Nate and Chris in their young lives. I had many visits with them in Dodge Center and later in Rochester. I will miss her dearly Lynn Hanson

Nate and family,  Joe and I want to express our sincere sympathy on the passing of your mom.  We have fond memories of the fun times at Gustavus cheering on the team.  It was a fun group of parents and will always remember those times.

I am so glad we were able to make those friendships through you guys and am glad that you and Mike have remained good friends.  

Our thoughts are with you and your family.

Russ and family, we were really shocked when we heard of Maryls dying. What a great lady she was and we think about all the fun we had with both of you in Orange Beach every Winter. She was always laughing and we loved our Black Russians. 

Russ & Family,

Our sincere and deepest condolences.  We will hold our memories together as dear.

i was a lucky person who got to know and love Marlys. She was such a joy to work with and her infectious laugh and smile, well, let’s just say she was a shining light to our group in Gi.  RIP, heaven gained a beautiful Angel

Russ and family,

I am so shocked to hear of Marlys's passing. She was always such a joy to be around! She had a ready laugh and a bit of an impish spirit I think. I was privileged to sit in front of her in the church choir. Many Sunday mornings have been spent sharing the joy of singing beautiful music together. I will miss her.

My heart goes out to you, Russ, and to your family. May you feel God's presence as he walks with you even in this.

We are so sorry for your loss. We hope you can find some comfort in all

of the wonderful memories your family shares. 

Russ so sorry for you and your family’s lose!

We were shocked and saddened to hear of the death of Marlys. We have so many fond memories of the time you spent in Owatonna. Our deepest sympathy to your family during this difficult time.

So sorry for your loss! I have not seen Marlys for many years, but have many great memories of her during the business trips when she traveled with Russ. Lots of great dinners, drinks and laughs. Marlys was a very classy lady with a huge heart and infectious laugh; she will definitely be missed by all who knew her.

My deepest sympathy,

Russ and Family, 

Sorry for your loss. I worked with Marlys in the GI department at Mayo. She was an exceptional woman. Kind, generous, and great personality along with her great knowledge.  Alway made me laugh. Great co-worker she really made my day when I worked with her. Wonderful lady. Will be greatly missed

take care

Russ and family, we are so sorry for your loss of Marlys.  Marlys's love for her family, her zest for life and constant smile brought smiles as we remember her.  May the special memories bring you comfort.  

Our deepest sympathies,

Daryl & Sharon Melquist

We are so sorry we will not be able to attend services as we will be in Kansas with our children and grandchildren. I will especially miss Marlys, her cheery attitude towards life and her beautiful voice sitting next to me in choir. Marlys was my choir buddy and I will miss her greatly. The world was a better place with Marlys Shores.

My fondest memories of Marlys were at the GI pig roasts at Gostout’s house. We had so much fun. I will miss her infectious laugh. Laser Sisters forever ?

Marlys will be missed by her family. What a delightful and enthusiastic lady Marlys was. I worked with Marlys in Gi diagnostics. A great nurse that cared; and liked to have fun while she worked, cared about patients, coworkers and medical team.  So sorry Shores family for your great loss.  Amy

Russ and family,

I’m so sorry for your loss of your Beautiful Marlys!! She was such a wonderful soul and so very beautiful both on the inside and out! She spread so much happiness and joy wherever she went. Sending my love and prayers to all!!

Marlys was a great nurse!  I worked with her in GI and it was a pleasure to work with her.  She had a nice sense of humor.  So sorry for your loss, prayers for you all....Debbie and Charlie Rhoten

I worked with Marlys in gastroenterology at the Mayo clinic.   She was not only an exceptional nurse, but was an exceptional person. Working with her did not seem like work at all.  I’m so sorry for your loss.
