Making the world better

I'm so sad to hear of Mariann's passing. As many did, I knew her as my kind and thoughtful bank manager on Franklin Avenue, a caring friend as well. Utterly and completely of the people in her community, always ready to listen and look for solutions to problems. Visiting with her was more like spending time with your warm and welcoming auntie. One time, I needed help with a friend who had lost his immigration status. He had already left the country, and his needs for financial assistance were complicated. Mariann must have spent many hours working our a solution that surely must not have been in her management manual. I have never forgotten that vivid lesson about shared responsibility in a human community. Taking time and listening, and acting kindly.

My condolences to her family, whom I never met. But I know you must miss her greatly. A bright light in the world!
