Marian was dear to me and my Grandfather, Himan Brown. She was tremendously supportive of us both when he was ill and during his decline and of me after he passed. I will always remember her kindness and how much Hi adored and loved her. She was one of a kind; a huge talent with a heart just as big. Godspeed, Marian.
