I believe this is Marian who once had a house in Miller Place? If so, we rented that house for a short while, right before she sold it. Marian was an amazing woman. So kind, and had great life stories. I enjoyed our many email conversations, and it was always a pleasure when she visited. I remember I´d pick her up at the ferry, and she would spend a few hours with us at the house. She was always so happy to see my boys, both teenagers now. May she rest in peace.

Very sorry for your loss Roger. Your mom was a great source of comfort to my dad, Bob Mills, who lived a few doors down at Ashlar. She was a delight to be around. And was often the only visitor each day after my dad suffered a stroke. Turns out Marian lived just around the corner from my present home in Kew Gardens. Take care.

Roger, my sincere condolences to you, your family, and your aunts. I live in Sapporo, Hokkaido, now where Marian traveled with me and my some friends. She and my three friends stayed an onsen hotel. She loved singing with karaoke.

When I worked and tried to support Marian through the caregiver-to-caregiver network at VNA in Madison CT I so often thought of her as a rare "earth-angel". So loving, so giving, opened to learning new ways of supporting her parents and full of joy. She leaned into daily gratitude, such a quality admired and needed to navigate life. My love is extended to all Marian's family and closest friends.

Sending condolences to all of you on the loss of your loved one. We went to Grace Church together in Old Saybrook and often had brief conversations during those times. Loved that smile!
