I remember Dr. Goldberger as being a very kind- hearted, warm, compassionate lady who expressed her love by passing on psychoanalytic knowledge. She later moved to New York City where she must have had the same impact. I was very fortunate to have known her. David Hershey, M.D.

I own a little book with verses by Torquato Tasso; inside is a hand-written notice: Aus dem Bücherschrank von Max Rudolf (= from the library of Max Rudolf), and I would like to pass it to one of the children or grandchildren of Dr. Goldberger.

Marianne Goldberger leaves a very warm space in my psychoanalytic experience. She was a teacher in the old Baltimore-DC Psychoanalytic Institute, who taught classes there, and impressed me as having a wonderful balance between superb intellectual skills and warm empathic concern. She had a mentor in Dr. Paul Gray, who was a highly esteemed supervisor of mine. She always stopped to talk at the New York meetings after she had resettled in New York. I am sad to hear that she has passed and I thought "She is so young." My God, she was 89 and died in her sleep surrounded by her family. All I can say is she was a unique very kind, very wise person that I and my classmates were very fortunate to know. She is up there with the very best.

I learned only today of Marianne's death through the PANY newsletter. I was just talking about her a few days ago with a colleague. I was a student of Marianne's and learned so much from her. She once met with me for a consultation about some professional challenges I was facing - words cannot adequately describe the care, compassion, and empathy she showed me. I am so grateful to her and will always remember her fondly. She was a treasure and has left a legacy among so many of us who were fortunate to learn from her.

Thank you Dr. Marianne Goldberger. Thank you for your intelligence, your wit, your humor. Thank you for your smile, your forthrightness, your fairness, your clarity. Thank you for being interested in so many things: literature, music, opera, science. dance, theater, photography. Thank you for giving me the courage to accept and follow my own interests. Thank you for knowing Bobos and Chandlers and Frigor Swiss Chocolate. Thank you for allowing me to be me without shame. I will miss you terribly, but I will carry you with me wherever I go.

I was so sorry to hear about Marianne's passing. She was a colleague of my father in the Washington DC psychoanalytic community for many years, and he spoke of her admiringly.

We heard the sad news from mom a few days ago. Marianne's presence In the lives of our family was indistinguishable from, well, family. Her smile so broad it spanned our many decades of visits and shared vacations. Her warmth and curiosity and love of life was as palpable when we last met just a few months ago as it had been in her youth. Just the name Marianne will never cease to spark joy for me. We are so lucky to have crossed her blazing trail. Sending much love to her family.
