A bright light has gone out! Marianne was a beautiful baby and brought that beauty into womanhood. Marianne had many rare qualities.

Dear Viverito Family

I was sad to hear of Marianne's passing. When I needed help she was my first contact with the Congressman' s office. I sat awhile waiting for my turn I was impressed with the amount of patience she had and her great sense of humor while doing her work and thinking she would be a wonderful person to work with. It was her help that put my anxiety to rest. I am sorry she was taken from you so soon. Marianne is your own personal Saint now. Everytime you look in the sky and see a bright star you will know she is there shining back on you. I went to the library after our first meeting and found myself knocking on her office door just to say hello. She was so kind and pleasant. May God grant your family the grace to sustain this great loss. Marianne. , I am sure is with our Lord may she rest in peace.

I didn't know Marianne, but I grew up in Burbank just a few blocks away from her parents' home. Our family went to Reavis and Marianne went to Queen of Peace so our paths didn't cross. I do know who her father is and have seen him many times on Veteran's Day when Burbank has their flag raising ceremony every year. My heart is broken for Mr. and Mrs. Viverito and their family. I have been praying for our Lord to give them comfort at this very difficult time and in the future.
