Bob, Lisa and Rick, so very sorry to hear of Marianne's passing. Such a shock since we saw her several times this year. The very first thing she mentioned was that she was a "great-grandma" to Ruthie! She was absolutely elated at being her great-grandma. She was a sweet person with a kind heart that always made you feel better, just like her parents! May her wonderful memories be a comfort to all of you.

Lisa&Jeff, Rick&Tara & family, and JB,Amanda & Stephen, My heart and prayers are with you all and I am soooo sorry for your loss. Your Mom was beautiful inside and out and I will always remember her beautiful heart and smile. She truly cherished all the time spent with family and how extra special the times this last year with great grandaughter Ruthie. She was sooo proud of you all and loved you very much!! I will treasure the lunches with her & Lisa and my Mom& I these past years - such joy and laughter (and bonding over the 'napkin'!!). She will live on in you all and will forever be in my heart. Hugs and Love, Karen
