Marianne was my best friend and closest neighbor schoolmate for many years when we were little. I'm so sorry for the sudden grief you must be suffering. I have many great memories of her laughter, kindness, and easy-going, natural acceptance of others. May God hold you in the palm of His hand during this time.

I am so so very shocked. I hadn't heard from Marianne in such a long time, that I thought she was either working with Mike or she had one of her headaches or a bad flu. I have yet to get a grip, I am going to see what's happening. It's just not real. I will have to come to grips with myself. Oh, Mike I am sorry that's all I can say now.
