Mariana Moran Grove

I knew Mariana "way back when" in the Philippines in the early sixties, when, all four of us pregnant, Mariana, Isabel Wilson, Judy Hurley Wagner and I would while away hours playing lengthy games of Scrabble to stay out of the heat. I sadly lost touch with her, but in those early days her vibrancy and joie de vivre were apparent. She was fun to be with and clearly had places to go in life. My sincere condolences to Mariana's family

Having known Mariana in the Philippines and recently having her come back into my life after forty years, I was particularly shocked and saddened at her death. My thoughts and prayers are with Michelle and Brandon.

Mariana's friendship was a blessing in my life. Her courage in adversity was inspirational.Her devotion to family and friends was a joy to see. Brandon was always so gallant with Mariana and she was, for 18 years, a stary-eyed romantic with Brandon. Loving Mariana was so easy, missing her will be so hard. Our family sends sympathy and devotion.

I was shocked and deeply saddened to learn of Mariana's death from Thad Holt. I had so recently reconnected with her after many years this past April, and looked forward to a blossoming friendship. I treasure that wonderful dinner, and send my deepest sympathy and much love to Brandon. Mimi

I will miss you, Mariana and God's speed to you, Brandon.

toni and i sorely miss our dear friend mariana. i met her when my brother micheal brought her to lunch at mory's in new haven in the fifties. our deepest sympathies to michelle and brandon. much love,
patick and toni parsons, manila.

Although I worked with Mariana for only a too brief a period of time, her humor, professionalism and poise will be missed.

All the way from Panama, we share the sorrow of the loss of Mariana and keep her and Brandon, in our thoughts and prayers. Roberto & Rossana

From the first time I met Mariana, having heard about her (at length) from Brandon until the last time I saw her I found her to be one of the most wonderful persons there ever was. Dan Simpson
