Gary: sharing the heartbreak and disbelief that Marianne is gone in April. Your updates over the last two decades have been an important as remembrances i my life.

The message on this page that describes Marianne as "smart, caring, and principled" captures perfectly a few of Marianne's strongest attributes. I'm so glad, Gary, that she had you at her side during this past decade, which she handled with grace, astonishing strength, and clear-eyed hopefulness. I will immensely miss being able to see her again. I'm so sorry for your loss, and the loss felt by the rest of her family (including her beloved cats).

Gary and friends, This is late. . .having both of you on my mind (and holiday card list.) So sad, and shocked, at Marianne's passing. She was compassionate and strong. . .so glad you both got to experience the West. . .that was one way we connected in library school, but her life was so much more than that. I hope that you find comfort knowing that she truly made a difference in my life and many others. . .Iowa City days and beyond. Sincerely, Karen Griebel
