Very sad news

Hello Gainesville Swing Dancers,

Our dear friend Marrie Robinson tragically passed away last week.

Marrie was a sweet, good-hearted and emotionally generous person.

She enriched the dance community by her welcoming presence, beautiful example and thorough knowledge.

When Marrie came to my classes, she participated enthusiastically. Even though she was ten times the dancer I will ever be, she
graciously pretended to learn. After class, she always had some gem to share with me, which I continue to pass on to you. This is
one way she continues to be with us.

May Richard's words below give you comfort.

Knowing Marrie was a blessing,
Andy

Greetings Dancers,

It is with sad heart that I send you this letter. Our fellow dancer, my first dance class assistant, and Gainesville's Dancing
Queen-"Queen of Hustle"-Marrie Robinson-died a couple of days ago.

She loved dancing and was a spectacular dancer. She touched and inspired us in many ways. She was kind, loving, and generous with
her time and knowledge.

She is survived by her two daughters-Mishani and Kachiri. If you are of faith-please say a little prayer that God will comfort her
and that he will ease the sorrow of her two beautiful daughters. Or, the next time you hear the song "Dancing Queen"-remember Marrie
Robinson. I miss her dearly!

Love and Peace,

Richard Nalli, Jr.

mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen."
