I have fond memories of Marie as I grew up with her. She was a caring and generous "bigger sister" and those memories are permanent testaments to her goodness.
Of course, as we diverged to our various adult lifestyles and living sites, we became a bit more separated.
I am grateful that, toward her last few months, we were able to re-engage in conversations. I'm sorry that I was not able to commute from the U.S. to the U.K., but am happy to hear of other supportive voices. I hope that I'm able to recall her good qualities and incorporate them into my own value system.

I taught with Marie a few years ago, and knew her well. She was a good friend, and we are very sorry she has passed away.
