Thank you so much for this blog and for sharing Marika with us for so long. Marika will be missed by so many. UNBC Women's Studies has posted a small obituary; to view it, go to: http://www.unbc.ca/womenstudies/
With sincere sympathy, Jacqueline Holler
Thank you for posting that, Jacqueline! Beautifully done!
Dear Marika's Family,
David, Vicky, Mark and Gyongyi we are very sad upon reading the passing of Marika.
I Jutka (Bor) Blau knew her since elementary school which we attended together and were friends ever since.
She was also one of the wittnesses when I got married in Wienna, Austria.
Reading her obituary I did not realise, until now, the great accomplishments she achieved over her lifespan.
During our telcons she was extremely modest and I highly admire her ability to satisfy her many interests.
We (my husband also) will miss her and think of many cheerful events and conversations shared together.
Thank you Mark for keeping us informed about Marika.
Love, Judy and Alfred Blau
