> Dear Tom, Lynn, and Nan,
> 
> Jim and I had the pleasure of working with both your parents while we lived in Chicago. 
> Coming from Australia,we always loved talking with them, in their beautiful Southern voices. In recent years Marianna and I have been corresponding on Facebook, and together enjoying supporting various ‘causes’
> Marianna always made sense to me, as Order women, we worked hard and yet Marianna had a graciousness that was always there, even if sometimes underneath the tasks of the moment.
> I loved her smile, and the twinkle in her eye. Marianna singled me out, to make me feel welcome, as I know she felt we could be overwhelmed by the vast numbers of our American colleagues. 
> We send our special love over to Marianna and to you all.  
> I remember each one of you three adult family members as young adults and I know that you will be grieving and sad at this moment. We send our love, and with the hope that you will know Marianna is surrounded by ‘a great cloud of witnesses’  and people who love and respect her. 
> Please send Marianna our loving wishes for her journey to the next phase of her time, until the sun sets for her. 
> 
> Best thoughts and prayers to you all,
> Isobel and Jim Bishop.
