A very very sad loss to the Internet world. She gave us so much. I will 
always remember the laughter we had one opportunity to share at one 
ICANN conference and several corridor greetings as we raced to our 
meetings. We miss you already Marilyn...Thank you for all you did for 
us, the community and humanity.  RIP!!
