Not sure what to say?

Marina taught my two children the violin for four years. We feel so lucky that they were able to be her students; she was their first and their best teacher. Her patience and kindness will stay in our memories forever. She always brought little gifts for the kids and showed so much love to her cat. We are deeply saddened by her passing and for Robert and her family´s loss. Now, every time I drive my kids past her street, we think of her. Marina, may you rest in peace. We miss you dearly.

Kitty and I are so saddened to hear of your loss, Robert. May her memory be for a blessing to you and the rest of her family.

A peaceful transition for a peaceful, kind woman. I will miss my friend and neighbor. Heartfelt condolences to Robert and her family as you navigate the tremendous gap that her absence creates.

Marina was a kind and generous friend I've known since Tucson High School. Sincere sympathy to her family, friends, colleagues and students.

My husband and i saw Marina playing with the Houston Symphony in 2019. She was a lovely woman and a beautiful musician.
