I am so sad to hear of Marianna’s passing. She was a good friend and co-worker.
A nicer person I’ve never met!
Mariana was a tremendous asset at Mita and Kyocera!
Everyone loved interacting with her and no one not one person couldn’t get along with Mariana!
She will be missed!
Rest in peace!
Marianna was my buddy, confident and friend for her 20+ yrs at Kyocera. She will be missed.
Marianna was the BEST listener and easiest coworker one could ask for! She left a big mark at Kyocera and had her own family with all of us! We will always remember her and her sweet smile and treasure the years of memories we have with her.
RIP Marianna-we will miss you.
Everyone loved Marianna. She was funny, kind always happy, smiling and make the people around her feel good. She was like a mother to all of us. I have known Marianna for over 20 years. We will all miss her. However, she is in a much better place now, where there is no suffering and no pain.
Here is poem by John F. Conner titled: I Never Left You (here the first paragraph)
I watch you every day; I am always with you
I know deep in your heart; You realize that I am here
I watch you while you sleep; In your bed or at home
I hear when you speak to me; When you are on your own
You cannot understand the reason that I have gone; But I will never leave you
Rest in peace Marianna
Wonderful Lady with a loving soul!
God bless you Marianna!
Love,
Don Lillie
