I met Marie (and Darren) through Elaine years ago and as a trio, you were guaranteed the most bawdy fun whenever you saw them.  And that fun was a constant through all sorts of life happenings.  The last time I saw Marie she was pissing herself at my melting chair - she saw the brilliance in everything.  I can’t believe this woman is no longer with us.  The highest tribute to the dead is not grief but gratitude and I’ll be ever grateful for the times she gave us, and to have known such a smart, hilarious, vibrant, kind, and unique woman.  If there is a heaven, I know she’ll have found George Michael first.  My love is with her family and all of her hundreds of friends, especially our Laney 💔
