I was so shocked and saddened to read of Marianne's passing. Bill, I am sure you don't remember me, but I was at your wedding reception. I was good friends with Diane and Roxanne. Roxanne was my roommate for 2 years after college, but I have lost touch with both of them. I saw the notice too late to come to the services last weekend. I didn't know Marienne well as an adult, but she sounds like she was a wonderfully loving wife, mother, sister and friend. Through your words about her, her...

I am so sorry for your loss. I went to high school with Marianne. She was a lovely person. What a terrible loss for us all. I hope you will keep all of the email addresses of all these people who so loved and admired your MOM. One day you may want to contact any one or all of us to hear wonderful stories about your Mom. I would love to share my memories with you, I am sure everyone would gladly do that for you. God bless you all.

Dear Penny and Blanton Family,
I was friends with Marianne from Kindergarden to High School. She was the light of any room she was in. It was such a blessing to be her friend. If you were her friend and she had so very many, than you truly felt special, because Marianne was so very special! She brought such joy and happiness wherever she went. She truly glowed and radiated beauty in everyway. I also have fond and wonderful memories of her. She is someone I always looked up to and...

Dear Penny Family,

Although I am saddened by the passing of Marianne it warms me greatly to see all the kind things written about her as it is exactly how I remember her. It has been many years since I have seen her but I can still feel her smile and remember she was the first girl I met upon moving to Houston. We had a lot of fun in the Junior High and High School days on Mossycup. She will be missed but always remembered.

Dear Bill, Julianne, Danielle, and Brooke,

I just heard the news about Marianne's death last night. The shock and pain I feel, I know, is nothing compared to that of your own. I am praying daily for all of you. I am so very sorry I didn't know before Saturday, so I could have been there. I loved Marianne dearly, and she was a one-of-a-kind friend to me. Girls, your mom was my best friend at Baylor. Rarely were we apart. I trusted no one more than her, and we ALWAYS had fun!. . .the...

Dear "Penny Girls":

My sisters and I are so sorry to learn of the loss of Marianne. We pass by Mossycup so many times over the last years and I still find myself looking for the bright orange front door on the corner house and think so fondly of Marianne. She was a great friend from elementary on through to high school and I know that her grace and good humor touched so many people and she will be missed. All of Marianne's family and friends are in our prayers.

Danielle, Julianne, and Brooke--
I only heard last night about your mom.
I was your mom's college roommate along with Jill Nolley our junior year at Baylor. We were also PiPhi pledge sisters. I wish you could have known her then. What a hoot she was and what a great friend. I am sure you can imagine! I have 2 girls 17 and 20 and cannot begin to know your hurt and how you must miss her. What lucky girls you are to have had such a wonderful mom to guide you. She was TRULY one of a...
