<div class="yiv5542993159yqt8752815129" id="yiv5542993159yqt49223"> I never got to work with Marianna so I have asked myself why do I know that I love her so? But I just know that I do. Last evening three of us former Order members were talking about Marianna and one of us said that Marianna and Bill met and fell in love when they were 14. Now I don't know for sure that it was true but I know that it certainly could be and that's enough for me. Journey On, Marianna. Joan Knutson<br>

home was just over the mountain in Galax, VA. After we both retired from our global travels, we’ve enjoyed a meaningful relationship as NC neighbors again. Marianna’s gracious southern manner is matched by a fierce resolve to be a powerhouse of care
and action in whatever she touches. That same resolve is seen in her decision to have no more testing or treatments. She and Bill received a wonderful formal recognition by the city of Asheville for their devoted work with Asheville communities and the
environment. I will have to share that article with you later. </span></div>
