When I heard of Marianne's passing it touched my heart and the memories of working with her at Carolina Eastman building 13l02 came back to me so clear. She was the closest thing to an Angel here on this earth so I know that she was a sparkling Angel when she was received into the gates of Heaven. So beautiful, sincere and sweet. My thoughts and prayer's are with the family. God Bless them during this time of sorrow.
