I miss you dearly... we will be together again..as peoples memories fade...mine never will. I still can't believe that you were taken from us so young. I will never forget how our souls touched each other

We keep Marianna and her family in our prayers.

Singing up Yonge St.,dancing on a boat cruise during frosh week, sleep over study sessions, my first ?""fender bender?"", bombing my biology exam while you consoled me, writing poetry using worldwide countries while ?""trying?"" to study for finals;so many memories.
Marianna,your passion for life and vivacious demeanor will stay with us to the end. Your words of wisdom touched many; we honor and commend. No one can deny your stunning beauty, razor sharp wit and generous heart. Your innate ability to look into another person?'s eyes and articulate how they felt was truly a work of art.
You told friends what they ?""needed?"" to hear, not just what they wanted to hear in their time of need; And your captivating smile with signature laughter will stay with us indeed. Your soul was pure, your heart open to all,
When we needed your advice and condolence we knew who to call.
You are irreplaceable and unmatched; we cherish you like a treasure. Your memory is engraved in our hearts now and forever.

Tom and Family,I am sorry to hear about the passing of Marianna. At the university of Toronto, Marianna worked as a 4th year student for me in the Manners lab. She always had tremendous joy and energy and loved her Smashing Pumpkins album at full volume. She was a joy to work with.Regards, Dan Foucher

I worked with Marianna for a short time at Seagate. I remember her ear-to-ear smile and unique laugh that would always prompt others to laugh with her. 
With sincere condolelences

Dear Jonah, Tom, Cesare & Rina,
MAY ALL YOUR TREASURED MEMORIES OF MARIANNA HELP YOU THROUGH THIS DIFFICULT TIME. 
Marianna, it all started when we were just 4. 
Here's what I remember; playing soccer at recess, working on our science projects, playing at Dovercourt park, walking to St.Anthony's church, buying buns for your mom at the bakery, eating nutella in your room, the amount of respect you had for your dad, the admiration you had for your mom & the love you had for your brother & sister. Our group ""SMACKEN"" in high school, how we called it ""truce"" at prom, hearing how happy Tom made you feel, meeting Jonah & seeing the sparkle in your eyes; YOU WERE SO PROUD. How you hugged me at my dad's funeral, how strong you were at your mom's funeral & receiving your Christmas cards every year, with your family photo. I remember everything. 
YOU HAVE FOREVER TOUCHED MY HEART & SOUL IN SO MANY WAYS. 
I WILL NEVER FORGET YOU. 
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU ARE GONE MY FRIEND! 
MY DEEPEST CONDOLENCES.

Dear Tom, Uta and I have heard what happened to Marianna. We feel deeply sorry for you and the rest of your family in the light of this tragic loss you have been faced with. We wish you strength and confidence to get through this hard time. Unfortunately there is nothing more we can do for you from the distance than to show, that you are not alone to commemorate Marianna. Please do not hesitate to let us know if there should be anything we could do that could be of help for you and your family. With deepest sympathyUta and Mark

Dear Tom, Jonah, Cesare and Rina:
  My deepest condolences on your sudden loss.  Why I could have been so blessed, sometimes as childhood best friend, I do not know how I could have deserved such warmth and joy growing up.  During her soul's journey, let her wonderful memories endure.  To her son, Jonah, the angels saw how much love and joy she had each day for you and others, and picked her for a special job few others can do...... to share her love with others....in the sun's rays and in butterflies that will remind you.....that she is always watching over you to take care of you.

Tom and Jonah,
Our deepest condolences for your loss.

Tom,Jonah,Rina and Cesare

I knew Marianna when she first came to FC and she active in our Gamma Phi Beta alum group. She was such a dynamic individual. My sincere sympathy.

Tom, Jonah, Rina and Cesare,
We are deeply saddened by your loss. We will always remember Marianna's  beautiful smile. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

I wanted to express my condolences for your loss. Mariana and I shared a cube at Seagate when space was limited. It was during the time that Mariana was travelling a lot to be with her Mom as she went through her illness. She was the life and soul of whatever conversation she was part of and she will be sadly missed. Your mom talked about you ALL the time Jonah!

Dearest Jonah, Tom, Rina & Cesare,
Words cannot express the incredible sadness and pain we feel in our hearts for your tragic loss.  Marianna touched so many lives with her sparkling eyes, incredible smile and contagious laugh.  She was truly an Angel on earth.  Some would say, ???a chip off the old block???.  Like her parents who she loved and respected to no end she was kind, generous and loving.  There wasn??Tt anything that she wouldn??Tt do to help someone out.  She had a knack for finding the good in life and even when life wasn??Tt so good to her, she chose to be positive and to learn something from her experiences.  Who knew that the last time we would hear her voice would be on an answering machine. A life taken too soon, she will truly be missed.  You are all in our prayers.

My hearfelt condolences to Tom, Jonah, Rina & Ceaser and families.  Marianne was my dear friend and a wonderful, caring person. I will miss her always.

Our family is saddened by your loss. Marianna was such a nice, friendly, and caring person.  Our kids really loved to come and visit and play with Jonah-she was the greatest Mom.  Our neighborhood will miss her greatly. Our kids have said ""she is in heaven with the angels"".  Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Although no words can really help ease the loss you bear, just know that you are very close in every thought and prayer.  May all your wonderful memories of Marianna give you strength.
With heartfelt condolences,

Marianna, how could you be gone?  I admired your sincerity.  You had a sincerity that I thought general society was incabable of and admired your capacity of being a ""good"" human.  Your love for Jonah was obvious.  Your love for your husband was also a beautiful wonder.  You will always be in our thoughts and ponderings.  Thank you for your inspiration.  Peace to you and ALL your family.

Dear Tom and Jonah, Marianna will always remain in my memory as such a lovely and vibrant personality.  Her smile always brightened the room.  I am so sorry for your loss.  
Sincerely,
Lynn

My deepest sympathies to Marianna's family during this difficult time. I had the pleasure of working with Marianna and will miss her enthusiasm and her positive and friendly personality.

My heartfelt condolences go out to her family and especially Tom and Jonah.  As a highschool friend Marianne was in essence a happy person full of life, zest and willingness to live.  I will pray for her eternal spirit and for her son that he may continue to live in the presence of his mother's  spirit in the grace of God.

Marianna was a life force to be reckoned with -- I am inspired & humbled by her passion for every facet of life: family, friends, work. She managed to give 110%+ to everything she did, simultaneously! 
I had the privilege to work with Marianna and witness her fervor for perfection in the details of complex plans and demanding schedules.  We teased her for her passion down to six decimal places and delighted in being able to find her by listening for her laughs.  
Marianna's standards for entertaining are an example of the love she heaped upon all around her.  She drilled down into every detail to make an occasion, big or small, into a spectacular experience for each of her guests.
The feats she performed for Jonah's birthday parties are legendary.  I will always remember the incredibly delicious lasagna she made from homemade sauce, noodles and even the ricotta!
I will miss her tremendously.

I will never forget your passion, Marianna. The importance of the issue notwithstanding, you had an opinion on it but could argue either side the issue well. You would have made an excellent lawyer (or scientist or any number of other things for that matter) and you were a phenomenal financial/cost analyst at Seagate and a great business analyst in the PLM org. What talent! You really could have done any number of things with your life and because of that I feel so blessed that you shared it with me and that I was able to know you for 10 years. You taught me to exude confidence at all times and to live life to the fullest through both by your example/leadership and your lectures. You always took time to help others with their problems because you were genuinely concerned about their welfare - you were almost selfless to a fault! I miss you and I know the countless lives that you touched throughout your life miss you as well. Rest well and thank you for your everlasting friendship.
