I remember fondly my next-door neighbor Marian as I was growing up. She was always bright and sparkling, and I looked forward to her evening visits.

My sympathies to you all. I remember Marian with great fondness - we were neighbors growing up. She especially impressed me that she actually owned a horse, and greatly enjoyed riding. We enjoyed her evening visits with us - she was always a sparkling presence. The whole world will be poorer for her absence.
