My dear friend, Marilyn Giardino-Zych, passed into eternity on
Sunday, October 14, 2012. She was Executive Producer on the project to bring my
novel, The Saint of Florenville: A Love Story, to the big screen. Our hearts and our prayers go out especially to
her husband, daughters, and other surviving family members. Marilyn possessed a
great passion for this story and had built an amazingly talented team of
professionals around her. Sadly, her untimely death came in the early stages of
development by Hangar 3 Productions and leaves the project in a state of limbo.
All of us who knew and loved Marilyn are in a state of grief and shock at her
leaving us. Her energy and her desire to see this film go forward gives me
confidence that she is still in charge of producing it from her place in
heaven. How she will pull it together—and when—is in the hands of God, but I
trust that Marilyn will eventually make it happen.
