Bob, Chrissy, Robby and the rest of her family (especially her sisters) who she shared such a special relationship with. I was in Orlando (a favorite place) of Marian's and was unable to attend the services, but Marian was always on my mind. She touched so many people with her laugh and upbeat personality. Although I only knew her for a few years, I became very fond of her and enjoyed working with her tremendously! She will be missed by many, but not forgotten.

I was so sorry to hear about you mothers passing. I worked with her for a number of years in Verizon. We were the part timers and we had a close group. Actually we had all gotten together about a year and a half ago and had a great time. Your mom was a very special person and I will always remember all of our good times together.
