Dear Shelly, Melissa, and Families, Words cannot express the deep loss Marianne's passing has left in the Mead Community. She and Ron were a constant, an anchor, guides to follow for all of their peer educators not only in education but also in every aspect of what it means to live in community.

We have so many great memories of Mrs. Frase as a teacher to 2 of our 3 children at Shiloh Hills. She was so sweet, kind and loving as a kindergarten teacher and so gracious to parents. She will be missed. Our prayers are with her family.

Mrs. Frase was such an inspiration to all who knew her, especially her little students! Her kindness and gentle nature were such an important part of who she was. I am so fortunate to have begun my education with someone as special as her. I offer sincere condolences to her children and extended family. She lived a beautiful life, always giving of herself. She never stopped caring and elevating others. May God rest her soul. With sympathy, Chris Picicci
