Gage and Peter, in the 8 months I became friends with Marianna she brought joy and happiness to myself and my family. Marianna and I became fast friends and I had such fun with her. I will miss her everyday, and I am so glad I was able to see her just one week before. David too enjoy her, always had a big smile on when ever he would come with me or stop over while on duty. We were very luck to have had her in our lives. Sending prayers and love to you both. David and Kathy Bento
