Marjorie Kowalski Cole

My sympathies to Marjorie's family.
Her lively commitment to social justice and her own special smile will live on in the hearts of many of us.

I was so stunned to hear of Marjorie's death, and sorry that I have been out of touch and hadn't been able to spend any time with her for the last too many years. But the memories I have are special, that she was always focused on the moment. And she sincerely believed in going for what is most important. My condolences and sympathies to Pat and Henry and Desmond. And thanks to Dermot for printing the piece she wrote for her mother.

I will miss seeing Marjorie's hopeful face and listening to her wise words. I know in my heart that now she is truly free to do what she does best.

My deepest sympathies to her family.

I was stunned to learn this, and very sad. I enjoyed two days in Fairbanks as Marjorie's guest, and so appreciated her take on all things literary and spiritual. We walked for miles on a snowy road in February and talked like old friends. What a gift she left us with her writing. My condolences to the family.

Marjorie and her mother Louise Kowalsky shared about a woman's life in Fairbanks for one of the museum's exhibitions. Marjorie could tell a story, with a twist of the unexpected and then make you laugh with hopefulness. We shared about raising boys and would catch up over at Dixon's bonfire--lit up to show her smile.

Take comfort in knowing that now you have a special guardian angel to watch over you.

We were so sorry to hear of your loss. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to help at this time.

I give thanks for Marjorie's friendship, her stubborn sense of what's right, and her amazing writing.
Her strong family and strong words--great legacies.
