Dear Thomas and Heidi, I wanted to let you know that I came across your interview and tribute to Marin on YouTube and I used it in my psychology classes.

Sweet Marin, we were just speaking of her. We were neighbors for a short time and so enjoyed her visits from across the Cul de sac and her radiate and sometimes mischievous smile. I have a picture of her, my daughters and neighborhood kids sitting on the curb. She was definitely a ray of sunshine.

I´m here years later, just now seeing this story. What a beautiful soul you are and I don´t even know you. Your story keeps me strong through my sobriety. Heaven sure did gain a beautiful angel. Your family is always in my prayers.

tu historia me ha conmocionado desde aquí en Venezuela, admiro a tus padres, han sido unos seres muy buenos. Aunque la vida les haya cobrado de la manera mas cruel, igual se siente muy doloroso todo esto! Que en paz descanse!!!!

Love you endlessly. Remember our days at the pool. I watched you like a hawk as you swam. Worried. I did not see the real worry coming several yrs later. I should have seen it, but I was away then, taking care of another, Grandma. Sweet Marin. You held my hand so, so tight, knew I was watching over you. Your turn. Take care of your parents and Nick. Prayers sent to you more than you will ever know. Love you, MER bear! Forever, you dear soul. I miss you. "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" Ever.
