I miss you so much, dearest, but know you and Fr. Mike will look after all those who love you and whom you loved here on earth. Mom claire hank, oak lawn, il. What a remarkable friend you were. What I remember most was your generosity. You hooked me, Greg and Bart up with a stay at your Dad's so we could go to URTAs and grad school. I got into grad school, got a job and now 26 years later still work in the theatre. So you are in some way responsible for helping yet another person. Sweet dreams dear friend and flights of angels sing thee to thy rest. Phil Johnson, Corpus Christi, TX I had the amazing ride of enjoying Miss Marian onstage and off at Ball State University Theatre for several blessed years. She had the uncanny ability to reach across boundaries and get to your essence with little effort and no resistance. She defined sultry, smooth, moxie. She was warm and loving and one of the most talented actresses I've ever had the pleasure of working/playing with. So strong, so sensational, so spectacularly, uniquely her own self. I adored you then, and as these fresh tears attest, even now, some twenty-seven years since THE DRUNKARD in our little Studio Theatre...May God rest you and bless you and yours. Till we meet... J.R. Stuart, New Albany, Indiana I feel as if I have a softball in my throat. I just discovered this through a friend on Facebook. Sandy Dunn, Muncie, IN Had yet another dream of you when I needed your love desperatly...and there you were, answering me in my dreams! Dylan is gorgeous and a wondrous man! Saw Murphy at Jenn's wedding and recalled us lying on either side of you during your last few days on this planet. You said "Beautiful Lisa!" and "Beautiful Buff!" and we each said "Beautiful Marian!"and you were and still are. I love you so! Buff Lee, Chicago Happy Birthday, Marian. Miss you terribly.

I still remember the day lkm called to tell me...to tell me you were gone. I have missed you...still miss you. greg, Rochester I'm certain you were chatting with St Peter when your Dad arrived. I'm certain your eyes were bright and your arms were wide. Bless you both -- always remembered and always loved. murphy, indy Marian, your Dad left us this morning. I know you are both together. Love you for ever, claire hank, oak lawn, il I was going through some boxes this past weekend and came across some achieves of my Ball State Theater day in the early 80's. I decided to google some of my co stars during those days. I sadly came across Marian’s site. I am so saddened to hear of her passing. We appeared together in "Suddenly Last Summer" at the Studio Theater. Marian was Catherine and I played her brother, George. What an honor it was to appear in a production with her so early in my Ball State Theater career. She was such a talented actress. I always admired her talent. Rob Loy, Tampa, FL I am so sorry to hear of Marian's passing. I hadn't visited her site in a long time and that is such shame. She was a great lady who EMailed me from the Televines and got me signed up on her website. Rest in Peace, Dear Marian. Hank Lewis, Houston, TX I thought about you a lot this weekend, Marian. I seemed to hear an inordinately large amount of Grateful Dead, Stevie Wonder and Prince... Jenn Lee, Chicago, IL Happy birthday, Marian. You are always with me. Ric Lee, Chicago, IL Happy Birthday, dear Marian. You will always be 38. Miss you and love you. Dylan is graduating from high school, can you imagine? claire hank, oak lawn, IL Marian, you will never leave us. You were so loved Mom claire hank, oak lawn, IL
Just got a call from Eden who left you a note a moment ago. We miss you so much, but know you are with us always. It makes me feel so lucky to know my children have you with them, too, and still look to you for the inspiration, comfort, and wonderful love you always had at the ready. Buff Lee, Chicago, IL I watched Elvira (in the spirit of halloween) the other night. I couldn't even pay attention to the movie because I was thinking of how many times you, Jennie and I used to watch it together. Luckily, I still know every line. :) Eden , Tuesday, October 24, 2006 at 16:46:40 (CDT) Hiya Hank, murphy, indy Marian: Ric Lee, Chicago It's been five years, I Will never stop missing you.

And this weekend I pulled out the cd Ric made with the Fairy Song and all those other great songs on it. Hadn't listened to it for years, but boy did it make me remember you. Remembered sitting up late in old and cold houses in downtown Muncie. Listening to Judy Garland and the Boomtown Rats. Swanky, Erte, the lyric mode, shakespeare, mac and cheese with tuna and peas, always lots and lots of coffee. Becky Mac, Chico, California Marian and I were good friends in junior high but lost touch as our interests diverged as we approached adulthood at McAuley. Her beautiful spark and zest for life is what comes to mind as I remember her. Patricia Costello, pacostello@usfca.edu, San Francisco, CA Happy Birthday Marian. Ric Lee, Chicago, IL Happy Birthday, Marian. Love you and miss you. claire hank, oak lawn I miss you so very much! Buff Lee, Evanston, IL Everything I've read here speaks of spirituality in the broadest sense and has uplifted me in a time of stress. My Partners Mum is still in regress from cancer after a single breast removal. Peace to all in Marians memory. And so a quote - I guess - is appropriate. Barry, Wakefield England Marian, you are missed so much. It's the fourth christmas without you. Love you, claire hank, oak lawn, il. Happy birthday, Marian, my wonderful friend. Whenever I need you, there you are in my head and in my heart. Bless you. Buff Lee, Evanston, IL Hiya Hank, murphy, indy Happy Birthday, Marian. Love you so much, clairehank@webtv.net, Oak Lawn, IL Oh, how I miss you. Loved the desert in California. You were with us. Love you. claire hank, oak lawn, il Good to read Josh's post. I remember Dealer's Choice so well and was glad to have been able to help with it. Buff Lee, Anaheim, CA In the mid-eighties, Marian directed a play called "Dealer's Choice" that I was fortunate enough to be in. Marian charmed me instantly with her infectious energy and enthusiasm, her smile, her wittiness, her unerring instincts, her beauty. She remained a good friend until I left Chicago in 1990, and spoke to her only occasionally after that. News of her passing hit hard, even after all these years, and my life is the lesser for lack of her. Josh Mandel, Albany, NY I just read a fanfiction about one of my favorite bands and one of the characters in it was suffering from cancer. Another character brought them bandanas, and it reminded me of when I let you have my hat up on Dolly's roof, the Union Jack hat, because the summer sun was too much for you. Nadia, Chicago, IL I talked to Dylan last night. His voice is so deep now, so grown-up. He's going to come over soon and see my new apartment and we're going to play Nintendo...just like old times. Jenn, Chicago I will always, always love you and miss you Mom claire hank, oak lawn, il I still see you in that space between awake and asleep. I hope I always do.
Ric, Evanston Stand with me Marian. Stand with me. lbk, Friday, October 01, 2004 at 09:49:24 (CDT) It's difficult to believe that it's been three years. murphy, indy Marian, every day you are in my heart, claire hank, oak lawn, il I think I felt you there a few nights ago, when Mo came over and Dylan and Chico and Eric and Kathy and I had something of a little party. I hope you were there. Chico and Mo sang and I couldn't do anything but think of you. Miss you lots. Nadia, Chicago, IL Happy birthday, Marian! I miss you!! Jenn Lee, Chicago Happy birthday, Marian. Thinking of you always. Ric Lee, Chicago happy birthday, sweetheart, I love you, mom claire hank, oak lawn, il I told Marian she was like a cousin to me. When she asked not like a sister, I explained my cousins were closer in belief systems than my sisters were to me.
Maureen, C'ville PA Marian, Maureen, C'ville PA Marian, STEVE DORFMAN, Friday, March 05, 2004 at 16:42:11 (CST) Marian I don't know where the last two years have gone.

Dylan called me today. He is graduating on June 3rd and will be going to High School at Parker. He sounded great. I had a great time at John and Gloria's. John, Joshua and I went to the Grand Caynon. It was awsome. I love you, I miss you, Mom Claire Hank, Oak Lawn, Ill. My sister Maura and I were discussing an acquaintance of hers who had just died. We wondered what you do when you get to Heaven. And our thoughts turned to our cousin Marian, and what she's doing. Shannon O'Hara, Chicago, IL I lost another friend to cancer yesterday. Marian, of course, came to mind. I miss her and feel her spirit and see her beautiful smile frequently. Maura O'Hara, Chicago Marian, today I logged on to ETOP and read your listsisters stories. Some are in treatment and fighting.
