Marie entered my life very briefly for a few months starting at the end of 2002.  I found her to be funny,
pleasant, interesting and beautiful.  And, of course, talented.  I'll defer to others who knew her better
and longer to take the lead in keeping her memory alive.  But, even as I have just learned of her passing all these 
months later, I feel no less of a loss.  It is important for all of us who knew Marie to speak of the life she lead 
and less so of the tragic moment which took her from us, much too soon.

Rest in peace, sweet Marie.

I remember Marie's laugh - a sudden loud burst, always unexpected from someone so delicate looking. She was a lovely actress as well, working with me in "Bring Me Sunshine, Bring Me Smiles" at the T.Schreiber Studio. I only learned about her death yesterday evening. Shocking.

I am so sad to hear of Marie's passing.  During her time at Pleasantdale School I found her to be a lovely, patient, and gentle woman.  Marie had a wonderful way with children and adults alike.  She will be missed.

My wife Susannah first met Marie when she was the lead in my wife's play "Fed Up To Here" in the '92 Sam French festival. We were all working out the T. Schrebier Studios then. When we formed our own group, Present Tense three years later Marie came with us. She was again the lead in Sooz's play "The Man With David's Face" in '96 and my play "Under The Green Ceiling" in '97. In '98 we ran a play festival that premiered Marie's first play "The Acting Thing" in which she also played the lead. Marie kept the faith with us when we really needed people to do that, though frankly we really didn't give them a reason to. Didn't matter, Marie did it anyway. For such a gentle spirit, she was a large presence in our lives. I'll always remember her beauty, her charm, her smile, her ridiculous laugh, and her encouragement. It is hard to think of a world without her, but I suppose that is what we'll have to do now.

I am an employee in the West Orange school district but did not have the pleasure to meet Marie personally.   My condolences to the famiy during this difficult time.

It's been many years since Marie was in my life.  She was a strong yet gentle soul and a loyal friend to me. I have thought of her often through these years. I am so deeply and profoundly saddened by her sudden death. I would like very much to attend the service on Tuesday - and will so if it is possible to do through public transport.  My heartfelt condolences to her family and close friends.

Marie and I were close friends in the 1990's.  We acted on stage together in several plays.  Although we did not see much of each other in the last few years, she always had a special place in my heart.  I was so shocked and sad to hear this news.  I will pay my respects at the funeral.

Marie was a sweet, talented actor, writer, teacher and friend, with a special laugh that everyone loved. My wife Olga, daughter Maria, and many others will miss her!

Ken and family,
James and I are so sorry for your loss. wish we could be there on tuesday to support you and your family. our deepest condolences and keeping you in our prayers

Marie, it is so sad that few people knew the wonderful caring person you were.....it is their loss.  While you had your flaws,  so do all of us who share this earth.  The earth has lost a shining star.   I have lost a good friend
