Dear Mark And Family,

I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I worked with Mari on a project at the U of C many years ago and was immediately drawn to her warm smile and presence. I will never forget her beautiful smile and am loving the photos posted here. May her beautiful memories be engrained in you heart.

I was so incredibly lucky to have the opportunity to get to know Mari through an educational collaboration with Wuhan University. She was instrumental in building Wuhan's Family Medicine clerkship, and for that, she traveled many times there. I will forever remember Mari for her dedication to her students, her kind spirit, selflessness and affectionate smile. I am mourning with you Mark, Maeve and Fiona. My deepest condolences.

Dear Mark, Maeve and Fiona, 

I am so deeply sorry for your loss.  I was paired with Mari as a new medical student and she a practicing attending.  Her compassion and commitment were an inspiration to me during our time together and I became a family physician as well.  She was a bright light to everyone lucky enough to be around her.  I am so honored to have known her.   Wishing you all peace and love.

I'll miss Mari forever.  She became a central part of every Potter event.  Her energy, her beliefs, her kindness, her knowledge, her fierce intelligence.  She made my life better in too many ways to list.

Dear Mark, Maeve, Fiona - I will cherish my memories of Mari throughout my life and will miss her dearly.  I enjoyed the fun and affection she brought to our lives as kids, then greatly admired  how accomplished and caring she was as we grew up.  Her sparkling, infectious laugh would always lift me. I hope you’ll find solace in your loving memories. Wishing you peace and comfort.

So sorry for your loss. My condolences to Mark and family. I haven’t seen Mari since she graduated from our MHPE program over 20 years ago. Her thesis work on teaching students to solicit feedback by asking questions that promote thinking was timely and enduring; I’ve often referenced her work during my teaching and at conferences. My thoughts are with you Mark and your family during these difficult times.   Sincerely, Georges Bordage
