On the first anniversary of Marin’s passing, we asked everyone who ever had any opportunity to meet Marin to share their stories with us. Thank you, Jackie, for allowing us to share it with others.

How did you know Marin: Friend from high school

I met Marin through her brother who I went to elementary school with. Me and Marin had the same lunch hour my senior year and she always there to light up my day when she knew something was wrong! Her smile was contagious. I always loved getting to spend my lunch hour with her and her mom. Marin never failed to make me laugh and smile even on the hardest days but she positively impacted my life. Until we meet again sweet Angel🤍
