I was so sad to hear about Marianne. It's one of those announcements that you think you must have misunderstood. I had the pleasure of working w/ Marianne @ Anthem. I learned so much from her.
Bob, I can't imagine losing my soul mate; the pain must be crippling. I pray that your happy memories can fill the void you must be feeling.
To her children: I want to quote a card that I cherished when my mom died: You'll never forget your mother's face, the sound of her voice, the gentleness of her touch...they let you know that you were loved. Sadly, Claire Dube
