With hearts broken, we share the passing of our precious daughter, Marilyn Galindo, who was born peacefully at 10:35 a.m. on Monday, August 10, 2026.
Just days shy of her due date, Marilyn entered this world surrounded by the love of her parents, Natalie Messenger and Ottonelle Galindo, before peacefully leaving it.
Though her time with us was far too short, she was deeply loved and cherished from the very beginning. Her parents and family had eagerly dreamed of the life they would share with her, and they will forever carry those dreams and their love for Marilyn in their hearts.
Marilyn may not have had the chance to experience this world, but she made an immeasurable impact on the lives of those who loved her. She will always be remembered as their precious daughter, a beloved family member, and a beautiful little girl whose life mattered deeply.
Though we mourn the life we never got to know, we are grateful for every moment we were blessed to call her ours. Marilyn will be loved and missed for a lifetime.
Marilyn is survived by her loving parents, Natalie Messenger and Ottonelle Galindo; her grandparents, Jeff (Mary Hinkelman) Messenger, Nancy Messenger, Christopher Rodriguez, and Margaret Alvarez; and her many aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family members who are deeply saddened by her passing. Though they were not able to watch her grow, each of them loved Marilyn deeply and will carry her memory in their hearts forever.
Marilyn Galindo
August 10, 2026 — Forever our daughter, forever in our hearts.
