Marisa was truly a unique creature. She had an amazing sense of humor that I just "got." I wish I could have seen her more in the last few years but am grateful to have had the opportunity to enjoy her company.

My condolences to the Johnson family for the passing of Marisa. Marisa was a wonderful person and a great friend. I have so many fond memories growing up together on Kings Ave. I will never forget when we moved to Phoenix in 1984 and Marisa, Dwight and Wellesley knocked on our door to introduce themselves and said, "welcome to our world." :) May the fond memories of Marisa live in our hearts forever.
