Dear ProZians,

We have just been informed about a tragic car accident involving local translator Marina Hennies. As a result, she is now in hospital in her home town of Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, and sadly her husband passed away.

Marina has been a regular participant of PowWows here in Brazil, even though her home town is more than 500 km from São Paulo where most of the events take place. Marina and her husband were always great company at the PowWows we have held

Dear ProZians,

We have just been informed about a tragic car accident involving local translator Marina Hennies. As a result, she is now in hospital in her home town of Petrópolis, Rio de Janeiro, and sadly her husband passed away.

Marina has been a regular participant of PowWows here in Brazil, even though her home town is more than 500 km from São Paulo where most of the events take place. Marina and her husband were always great company at the PowWows we have held here.

May God be with Marina at this sad time, and we would like to wish her a speedy recovery. Messages of condolence and support for Marina can be left here, or at:

Sending my thoughts Oct 1, 2008

How very sad. I'm sending my thoughts to her in this difficult time.

In the hopes that the knowledge that others in the Proz community are with her may bring her some confort.
