When we look up at the stars, some shine brighter than others. When I look up, I see Marilu's star shining among the brightest. And I smile. I miss you so very much, and you are never far from my thoughts.

Querida Marilu, siento tu marcha muchísimo. Pensar que no volveré a verte me duele. Fue para mi una sorpresa conocerte, me entendí rápidamente contigo, me sorprendió tu gran acogida y amabilidad , pero lo que guardaré dentro de mi es tu gran caracter alegre y positivo de la vida. Te vi pocos mese antes de partir y tu entereza me conmovió, siempre a punto para pasar un rato bueno con los que te rodeaban, aunque no te encontrabas bien.
Agradezco con toda mi alma todo lo que nos ofreciste, tu cariño y tu buen corazón para que nos sintieramos bien en tu casa.
Los que nos hemos quedado aquí nos queda el vacio de tu persona, espero y deseo que tu hayas encontrado la PAZ ETERNA.

Marilu,
You left this world too early, God must have a very special mission for you, one bigger than the great one you had in this world.
Your beautiful smile will stay with us.

I met Marilú as an active member of Centro de Ayuda Peru. She was committed to help less fortunate Peruvians in Peru, her country of birth. She always had Peru and Peruvians in her mind.
My condolences to her children Brenda, Oliver, grandson Daniel and family.
She will be missed!

I thoroughly enjoyed Marilu's smile and sincerity while working with her at the City of Petaluma. She was always there to help or to explain a solution to the problem.

We will miss Marilu.

Prayers to her friends and family.

Marilu was such a pleasure to work with at the City of Petaluma and who would think annual budgeting could ever be considered fun? Well, with Marilu it was something to look forward to and she was so patient with many of us as well as a great teacher. I can still hear her laughter in my head which brings a smile to my face. So many will miss Marilu, but our time with her will not be forgotten. My heart and prayers go out to her family and her friends at this time.
