True Love as the Creator Intended!
Beatrice, the sister of Ralph Wihn, is pictured with her daughter Marie opening Christmas presents. The loving bond of the Wihn family was so tight that Beatrice died 2 years after the death of her brother and Marie died 2 years after the death of her mother. Very godly and loving people who had given so much of themselves to others that they each were affectionately referred to as "Mom" by those who knew them. Their love and tenderness will forever be missed!

Marilyn Monroe was one of the most iconic actresses and models of the 20th century, known for her captivating beauty and charm on and off the screen.
