Time for a Tribute...

In Loving Memory of Marina

Memorial Service-Saturday September 18 at 11:00 AM

St. Luke's Episcopal Church, Jacksonville FL

followed by interment in the adjoining Peace Garden.

O God of grace and glory, we remember before you this day our sister Marina.  We thank you for giving her to us, her family and friends, to know and to love as a companion on our earthly pilgrimage.  In your boundless compassion, console us who mourn. Give us faith to see in death the gate of eternal life; so that in quiet confidence we may continue our course on earth, until, by your call, we are reunited with those who have gone before; through Jesus Christ our Lord.   Amen

Letter from Sisters

It was with deep regret and sorrow that we, Marina's remaining siblings--five (5) sisters--and a sister-in-law learned of her recent passing.  Marina was a valuable and loved member of our family and a very good friend to all of us. Our memories of her will surely bring us comfort. Marina spoke many times of Father Pace and members and friends at her church.  She had a special way of doing things that was all her own, both in her home life and in her church life.  She loved celebratory gatherings and dedicated many hours to doing it right and for this was very much appreciated.

Signed with much love.
