My prayers are with you Bea, Ralph,and Mark. Cody, you are such a fortunate young man to be a part of her. I will love her and miss her forever.
Bea, Ralph, Mark, & Family
You are in my prayers during these terribly sad days with Marina’s passing. Thank you for sharing your home and Thanksgiving with me in 1995.
I can never forget the kind heart of Marina and know she got it from you Bea and Ralph. I still picture how
Marina loved riding on the Harley and how she would laugh that her mom and my sister would have a fit if they knew she, “An ER Nurse” liked riding without her helmet! Marina helped many people and made the world a better place because of the love and houghtfullness you taught her. I am very sorry for your loss.
Marina was a cherished friend to me. I had lost touch with her these last few years yet would smile when I would think of her. I knew Marina through Alcoholics Anonymous. My prayers are with her young son. When we would talk Cody was the child that brought a smile and bright light to her face. I am so sorry for your loss.

Although Marina was legally my sister by marriage, we both felt in Gods eyes we were truely sisters. She told me things not another person on this earth will ever know. We would stay up all night, sometimes night after night, giggeling, laughing, and sometimes crying, whatever the circumstances we faced them together. We talked at least 2 or 3 times a day, and NEVER ended a conversation without an “I love you.” She was a wonderful Mother to her precious baby Cody. He was her reason for breathing, and I hope Cody grows up to know the true love his mother had for him. I hope to be instramental in his life and will make sure he knows that.My Marina has been gone a week today, I we are still in shock. God bless you sweetheart, we will meet again…..
Dear Family, Sincere Condolences please know that our thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. We are so sorry to hear of Marinas passing.
I recall the last time she and I chatted via email. She shared her zest for love and life. Her personality was so vivid via cyberspace. She was an awesome cousin who loved her family and friends. I will always have fond memories of Marina and remember her gregarious smile. I will greatly miss receiving her emails. In her last email she reminded me of the great times that we shared together as families.
In viewing her obituary I was so proud to see her many accomplishments in her schooling and in her career endeavors. Above all it was evident that her son Cody was her Pride and Joy!
Although we are miles apart we are always close in Spirit. May God comfort and keep you in his care. Please know that Marina is in a much better place, and we will someday hug her again. Rest in Peace Cuz
Love Always Your Cousin,

Having known Marina for many years, I can say with all honesty that she was the kindest, sweetest and most considerate human being I ever had the privilege of calling friend. She always treated people with love and respect and the world was a better place with Marina around. She was a wonderful person and will sorely be missed by all our family. Our warm condolences to our dear friends Bea, Ralph and Mark.
Marina and I worked in our Emergency Room together for many years. She was very passionate about nursing and her patients loved her compassionate nature and wonderful care. I loved her as a colleague and personal friend. She certainly touched my life is a very wonderful way that I’ll always cherish. Her passing is a loss for this world. Marina loved and lived for Cody. Cody was the love of her life. She planned on growing old watching him grow up. Marina’s mom was frequently described by Marina as “my best bud”. Marina had a dear faith and love of God. She would help and give to anyone in any way possible. Our world was blessed to have Marina and will miss her terribly. Thanks for sharing your life with me, Marina! May God continue to hold you in the palm of His hand. Your friend, Kay.
