I am sending my heartfelt condolences to the family of Marianne's family. May you find peace and love in the memories you cherished with Marianne.

I knew Marianne through the osteoporosis group that she started several years ago. It was a joy to hear from her through the years. We all learned a lot from her. Marianne was a kind and caring person who helped many of us through the journey of osteoporosis.

We all loved her and she will be missed.

Sincerely, Dianne Ponist

I met Marianne on the Osteosisters group that she started. There were eight of us and we all have this bone problem.

Although Marianne and I didn’t meet in person we have exchanged many ideas and learned a lot about our very different lives. We can tell this supportive site about anything in our lives - and get good advice and encouragement too! I check it every day!

I used to play a word game with her and she nearly always won!

I will miss her greatly.

Marianne left a mark on me of goodness and kindness. I looked up to her for her determination and intelligence.

She was an unbelievable Words With Friends player!
