To Ken - Marianne and my mom shared the same birthday. My mom was unable to attend the memorial service today, but my sister went to represent her. I will never forget that you and Marianne were willing to take my mom to church when others wouldn't. My mom will miss her very much. I am sorry for your loss, which happened much too soon.

I worked with Marianne at Good Samaritan in the Eldercare program. She was such a pleasure to be around and also so helpful when my own family had some Eldercare issues. I'm so sorry for your loss. May God give you comfort and peace with your wonderful memories of her.
