April 2, 2024

This is Tony Brite, I just heard about Marianne´s passing. My favorite memory of Aunt Marianne is she had just received a speeding ticket. This was early 90´s if my memory is correct. She told me that she didn´t know what they were doing but that she was a good driver. Our little lead foot. I wish I could have been there for the family, my condolences.
