Dear Marianna, That evening in Capri when we met, I immediately thought you were a special soul, an uncommon inner light. Over these five years, I have experienced your great strength, your perseverance, your joy in living despite illness, your unwavering love as a mother of two beautiful girls. And your unwavering faith. I will miss our endless morning coffees, FaceTimed from NYC, Capri, or Dubai; I will miss seeing you smile, playing with your daughters, cooking with your mom. But I am sure I will feel you even closer, stronger, more beautiful, made of only Light. Have a safe passage, my friend. You have completed a beautiful journey, leaving all of us who loved you a legacy of joy and love of inestimable value. ❤️
