Dearest Little Sister, It is hard to believe yet another year has passed since you left us. Even though it has been 15 years it feels like just now. We miss you and think about you on a daily bases. This year I went on our sister trip and we told many stories and laughter a lot over our memories of you. The world just seemed a little empty since you left. The whole in my heart will never heal because you were such an important part of my life. I love you now and forever and you will never be forgotten.

Dearest Marietta,
The years have flown by since you left us, but not a day goes by that you are not thought about. When someone so important to us leaves it is the body that leaves. Our memories, emotions and love never goes away. I keep you close to my heart and always will. You are my best friend and sister now and forever, I love you more than words can express.

Merry Christmas to the sweetest, loving little sister,
Was thinking of you today and wanted to say I love you and not a day goes by that I don't wish I could have 5 more minutes with you. You are such a part of me. I sometimes feel like I grieve like a parent and also like a sister. I have been blessed in my life but you are my biggest blessing. Love always sis!

Marietta, I want you to know that you are loved more today then ever. Your memory is the most special thing to me. Sharing my memories of our adventures together brings a smile to my face. We definitely had some amazing times. I love you and miss you with every breath I take. Forever your big Sis!

To My Dearest Little Sister,
It is hard to believe that you have been gone from us for 12 years. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about you or a memory is triggered of things we did together. Life does go on but it is not as sweet as life was when you were here with us. I love you so much and miss you with each breath I take. I keep you in my prayers and ask you to keep me in your prayers too. Till we meet again sis!

Hi Marietta. I've been thinking of you. Miss you my sister from another mother. I had a double vodka, splash of Sprite with 3 olives on your birthday back in August. Julian thought I was having an out of body COVID 19 experience LOL. I know he can't remember, but I remember the day we were at the MGM Grand pool and you taught him to float. Jules just turned 16, he's 5'6 and a fine young man. I wish you could meet him now. I think of when you danced with Justin at his wedding. Our boys.... I just wanted you to know you are still here in my heart. Love you.

Hi Baby Sister! It has been awhile since I last wrote here, but I think about you everyday. It is hard to believe that you have been gone 11 years. So much has happened this past 11 years. Ryan now has three children. I bet you are like what? Yes he grew up during these 11 years and has become a nice young man. He grew up with you as his second mom. We talk and text Justin and family often. We miss them a lot. Keep trying to get them to come and visit us in Alaska. Sean and family are doing fine busy as usual. They got a cat! I know did not see that coming either. Tomorrow is the anniversary of Mom's death. Before she passed away she told me a story that she said she did not share with anyone else because they would have thought she was crazy. She said she and dad had just gone to check on your condo since they were trying to sell it. They had locked up and Dad had headed to the car to pull it up for Mom. She said she turned around for one last look and their you were with these beautiful colors all around you. She said it was as clear as day. Your hair was blowing in the wind and you were smiling and waving at her. She said it was a gift from you, a message to help her heart heal. Then you were gone. I feel mom was so lucky to have you say goodbye. I miss you so much! You are my baby sister and my best friend. Thank you for all the love you gave me and my family. You and I had some great times shared a lot of laughs, and even a cry or two. Those are the memories I carry with me each day! Someday we will be together again. Love you with all my heart.

Hi Marietta,
This last year has been unbelievable. I am so sad that you haven't been here to share it with us. I can't even begin to count how many times I have picked up my phone to call you. I haven't had the heart to take you out of my contacts, I don't think I ever will. I see you everywhere, in Justin, your friends, and even in every rainbow I see. The day of your passing I saw a rainbow outside our back window and to this day every single rainbow I see, I think of you. You are just like a mother to me and I love you with all my hearts love.
I miss you.
xoxo

Dear Marietta, It is so hard to believe that you have been gone for almost a year. People say that with time the hurt will go away. I don't know if that will happen to me. I still miss you as much as the day you died. I have this whole in my heart that just won't heal. You were such an important part of my life and a daily part of my life. I can't tell you the times I have wanted to talk to you and the times I have needed your advice. The other day I saw a star in the sky and said, "First Star First Bight, First Star I see tonight I wish I may I wish I might have this wish I wish tonight." My wish was that you would come to me in my dreams and we would talk about everything and I could finally tell you how sorry I am that I was not there holding you in my arms when you died. I don't think I will be able to forgive myself for that. I would have held you in my arms and told you how much I loved you and that you were my best friend and my sister. I relive this daily. If onlys can hurt. Marietta I know in my heart you are in heaven and that you are there to talk to. I have been blessed by having you in my life and I will never forget that love. Thank you for always loving and caring about not only me but my whole family. Ilove and miss you with every breath that I take. You will always be a big part of my families lives.

Happy Birthday Marietta, I am a few days late but you have been on my mind a lot lately. Nick and I made a trip to Vegas a couple weeks ago. It was nice to see Justin, Stephanie and Mom and Dad. I couldn't get the feeling that someone was missing off my mind. Nick and I would be walking around and I would remember things we did, places we had been together. I miss you so very much and part of me feels that I have no place to visit you and to send you flowers for those special occasions. You loved flowers. I love you with all my heart and miss you more than words can tell. I miss our talks and your laughter.

Love,
Pam

Dear Baby SIster, Today is May 28th and Nick and I are getting ready to head to the cabin for the weekend. This Monday is Memorial Weekend and I will be planting a tree in our yard for you. We are going to find a white birch to transplant in our yard. That way every time I look at the tree it will remind me of how much you are loved and are still such an important part of my life. I miss you so much and think about you so much. I wish I could say that life is getting better but I still am having a hard time coping with your loss. Somedays are pretty good it is those days that I really need my best friend that hit me the hardest. I didn't realize what an important role you played in my life how much our talks made my life so much better. I write to you in my journal and that helps but nothing can replace our visits or phone conversations. You are an amazing person and I will always love you and miss you. I want to thank you for the unconditional love and support you gave me. I am the luckiest person in the world to have know the kind of love you gave me and my family. I wish I could send you flowers, I know how much you loved flowers and felt so special when you got them. Well, I love you and miss you and count my blessing everyday that I have a sister like you. You will always be my sister and best friend, you will always be missed and loved. Thank you for all you have given me. XOXOX here are some kisses and hugs. I love you. See you in my dreams.

Love,
Pam

Happy Mother's Day Marietta, Nick and I went to the cabin this weekend to celebrate Mother's Day. We had a really nice weekend and we talked a lot about you and Justin. We were trying to figure out what to do when Justin comes for his visit. I am sure the cabin is on the list. I sure hope they enjoy it as much as we do. I wish so many times that you had been able to experience my life and to see all the beauty around here. I know you would have really enjoyed it all. Well maybe not the outhouse, OK maybe not the lack of water or electricity, but I know you would have seen it for what it really is for me. I hope that you are able to look down from heaven and see my world now. You are still and will always be with me where ever I go and no matter what I am doing. I think about you all the time and have dialed your number by mistake so many times. At first I would hear your recording but no it just says that number is not in use any longer. I talked to Mom today and she got the little gift I sent her. I also sent her the card you had bought for her, but I didn't tell her because it might make her sad. Maybe one of these days I will tell her and she will know how much you are still part of her life. I miss you with every breath I take and with every heart beat. I love you more than words can express. I would like to make a date to meet me in my dreams tonight. See you then. I just wanted to wish you a Happy Mother's Day and let you know how much you mean to me. Talk to you soon. Love Pam

Hi Marietta it is me. I was at work after hours cleaning up my emails and came across one from you. So decided to say hi. I find myself thinking about you all the time and missing our talks. I have been struggling to figure out what to do about that. I have started a journal that each night before I go to bed I write to you and tell you all about what is going on just like we use to do over the phone. It is helping me and hope you get a peek from heaven. Well not a day goes by that I don't wish you were here so I could tell you how much you mean to me and how much I love you. Forever your sister and best friend.
Love
Pam

Hi Marietta, I wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas. It snowed a bit today and that made me think about you even more. I reached for the phone time after time and each time the phone rang I wished it was you. My heart ached to hear your voice. I was asked if I believed in angels. I can honestly say I do. You have been my guardian angel all my life. You now have your wings. Everytime I heard a bell this holiday season that is what I would say to myself. Marietta got her wings. I want you to know I love you with all my heart and I will always love you. I wanted to also tell you that I wore my Bret Farve Jersey today because I needed you close to me. Thank you Marietta for making my life so wonderful. I will spend the rest of my life trying to be a better person to make you proud of me. I love you and always will. Love, Pam

I will always carry such special memories of Marietta. She was a wonderful person with her soft-spoken manner and kind smile and her fighting spirt was always evident. She was a tremendous mentor to my mom, Kay Kiser, when they worked together at the MGM Grand. We enjoyed talking about Brett Favre and her love of the Green Bay Packers too.

I will miss her tremendously but know that she is now once again with my mom and they are both angels watching over all of us every day.

Marietta was the second person I hired to be a part of the opening team at MGM Grand over 17 years ago. What started out as a work acquaintance, quickly grew to be a strong and lasting friendship. Those opening days created a bond that few ever experience. I miss her now and always will. We laughed and cried, but mostly laughed. She was an amazing listener and always had time for you and offered good advice. I feel very fortunate to have known her and her whole family. God Bless you Marietta, you will be in our hearts and memory forever!

Marietta was a wonderful women and I am blessed to have had her in my life. Even though we only new each other for a few years I felt as if we had known each other a life time. She was an inspiration to me and her strength, love and compasion will be in my heart forever.

Marietta, I woke this morning to about 8 inches of snow. It was always at this time I would pick up the phone and tell you how beautiful everything looked. I miss you so much and miss being able to pick up the phone and call you every night. I miss our debates on Brett Farve. By the way Minn is winning today. I wish God had Horizon Wireless so I could call you to tell you how much I miss you and how much my life has changed without you. I will always love you and miss you.

Marietta, has touched my life in such a profound way that words cannot express what is in my heart. Each of us that were blessed enough to have a little piece of Marietta in our lives will always have her in our hearts and minds and she shall live on. To her family I send my deepest condolences. May the love of friends and family carry you through your grief.

Marietta, having you in my life has made me a better person and a better mom. You were like my sister and one of the reasons we moved to Vegas. I miss you everyday but I promise to have a vodka, 7-Up with 3 olives from time to time and raise my glass to you. Love you, Julian, Colleen and Dominique

Luis Lamar

November 21, 2009

I was fortunate to have worked, and to have known Marietta for approximately 4 years. Unfortunately, my new job took me away from seeing her on a daily basis, and from that point forward my life was different. I could always count on her for sound advice and a deep belly laugh. The conversations were never short, always honest and heartfelt. I miss those.

Her unending love for her family and friends was evident in her ability to give of herself, while expecting nothing in return, simply wishing that those around her would always do better. What a great person, someone continuously pushing for you to be better. A true friend.

To Marietta’s family I send my deepest condolences. Marietta is irreplaceable, and will be greatly missed.

Sincerely,

Lisa Nasser

Marietta played a major role in my career and I will always be thankful for her guidance and inspiration. My memories of her include going through reports on Saturdays when I thought she would NEVER be in the office and when she cleaned my desk herself so I wasn't buried under paperwork. Aside from work, she was a great support when my father had heart surgery. Lastly, I will never forget when I gave her a Thank You card when she left our department and she immediately broke into tears. I always knew she was just a softie inside...love you and miss you Marietta

Marietta was a good friend and good person. I am grateful for the memories of laughs shared, long conversations and her sense of humor even when times were hardest. Her legacy lives on in her family, friends, and coworkers. My thoughts and prayers go out to Justin and all her family and friends who are missing her so much. I will keep her in my heart always.

Your honesty,trust, and kindness will never be forgotten. You accomplished so much during your lifetime including the wonderful and caring son you brought into the world. You will always be in our thoughts and may you rest in God's hands in peace. Love You, and really miss you! My heartfelt sympathy to all of your family and loved ones!

A very special woman that touched all who knew her in such a meaningful way. Her sense of humor and wit made me laugh every time I saw her. And just when I thought no one loved Coca Cola more than me, in walks Marietta! God bless you Marietta and your family.

I was lucky enough to know Marietta for over 12 years and from the beginning I knew I was going to like her. Her warm smile and caring ways made her a beautiful person both inside and out. As a boss she was more than fair to everyone. As a friend, she was the best one you could ever be lucky enough to have. Marietta did everything she could to help make the path easier for those who will follow. I do think of her every day and my heart is heavy over her passing. She raised Justin to be a good and caring person and I am sad for his loss. I will love Marietta forever and will never forget her.

November 19, 2009

Marietta was my angel when I came into Hotel Operations at MGM. I had never worked in operations, spent many years in HR. Marietta took me under her wing and showed me the ropes with much patience and kindness. She always wore a smile on her face. She will truly be missed. My sincere sympathy to her family.

My life was so blessed because I knew Marietta. She was my best friend and more like a sister a true gift to me. I could tell her anything and always knew I could trust her and she would be honest with me if I was wrong. YES, Marietta was true to herself and to others. A very real, beautiful, caring woman. She had a passion for life. She fought like crazy and never complained. Her purpose here on earth was completed. She always hoped that they could learn one thing from her disease that would only help someone else someday. Her Angels decided they needed her in a stonger capacity. I feel her love and I know she smiles down upon all of her family and friends. I love you Marietta!! I miss you and think of you every day. You are a true legacy and an example to follow. My heart goes out to the entire family as I know how much you all loved her. God Bless Our Angel Marietta. Thank you Marietta for being part of my life! Because of you I am blessed!

Some of her close friends and she had so many more

I have not been in touch with Marietta for years and years but gasped at this terrible news. I guess there are just some people in life that stay with you no matter how long it has been since you spoke. It is probably the neighborhood bond that so many of us in the old Friendship Lane Gang held together. We were all so different and many of us entered McLean High School in our sophomore and junior years. For those who grew up together in McLean VA you don't realize how difficult that can be. But Marietta was so welcoming and it didn't matter how different your interests were she was your friend. A long overdue thank you to Marietta for being an accepting, kind and thoughtful person.

We had so much fun together thru our high school years and often thought about you over the years. I am deeply saddened by this news.

November 15, 2009

This news is so heartbreaking. I knew Marietta from McLean HS. She wasn't at the 30th class reunion and I didn't know that she was in treatment. Please accept my sincere condolences.

I met Marietta in junior high school. She was the "new kid" and I took her under my wing. I remember sleepovers, working on the home coming float, going to a Redskin game with Marietta and Aunt Goody and being in awe of Uncle Bill. We were huge Redskin fans!!
Unfortunately, we lost contact over the years but our last conversation was about 21 years ago. She was proudly telling me about her son, and how life was good in Las Vegas.
God Bless those loved ones left behind to mourn her passing. Thank God this world is temporary and the best is yet to come!!

I met Marietta in Sept 2005 and instantly liked her. She was a very fun person to be around, always smiling and joking. She will definately be missed. My deepest sympathies to her family.

As you go through life you meet very few people that you connect with from the start. Marietta was one of them. We met her in September of 2005 and we felt like we knew her all our lives. Marietta had a way of welcoming you into her world and it was a wonderful place to be. Her never changing positive outlook, quick wit and friendly smile were quite contagious. Over the years we talked often and made it a point to see her whenever we came to Vegas. We shared information about our families and found that we had much in common. We will miss her warm personality and her eternal optimism. She was truly one of a kind. We will miss her dearly but will never forget what she brought to our lives. Our deepest sympathies go out to her family. Rest in peace Marietta, we will never forget you.

Marietta, I miss you more than words can say. You were my younger sister but you are my best friend. We would talk everyday and sometimes for hours. Nick would always wonder how we could talk so long. We never ran out of things to say to each other. We told each other about out fears, hopes and dreams. I can't imagine going back to Alaska and not being able to pick up the phone to talk to you. I asked my kids in my classroom to write about their hero. I had written an example for them and it was about you. You are my hero because no matter what life threw at you, you never gave up and said, "Why me!" You gave others strength and courage through your actions. I told my kids I wanted to be just like you. You are and will always be my hero! I am a very lucky person because you were in my life. You didn't judge me and you listened when I needed someone to talk to. I can't imagine what my life will be like without you. I do know you were an important part of my life and you will always be an important part. Remember BESTFRIENDS FOREVER! I love you and miss you every minute of my life.

My sincere sorrow for your loss. I worked with Marietta for several years at MGM. No matter what crazy thing that may have been happening at the hotel, I don't remember seeing anything but a beautiful smile on Marietta's face and a strong, positive attitude. I, too lost my mother to cancer. My thoughts go out to your family. God Bless you, and praise him for Marietta can rest in peace.

I worked with Marietta at the MGM Grand and she was always kind and caring to me. She will be truly missed. My thoughts are with her family and loved ones. She touched many people.
