What a loss to family and community. I haven’t seen you for years; but, you have never been far from my thoughts.

Dear Uncle Adrien and family,
I haven’t seen you all in such a long time… I was disheartened to get the call from Dad telling me of the passing of Aunt Marion. I immediately recalled childhood memories of eating apples from your tree, and of feeding the geese at the pond, and of Aunt Marion’s good humour and cooking, of course. Marion has been such a great spirit in our family, one who has shared her warmth with and been loved by my generation and my mother’s. I know because I have heard many of the stories…
May God bless you and strengthen you; please know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
Vicki & Steve Roberts
Heartfelt condolences to the whole famly. Marion was a great lady and truly one of a kind. Thinking about all of you at this difficult time.
Love, Vicki & Steve
