Dear Dave & Duff Family, I am so sorry to hear of Marion's passing. Growing up a Robertson-Wesley Marion was instrumental in most of the UCW work and outreach. She knew each and everyone of the kids and kept us all in line like we were her own. God Bless you all.

Dear Bill, Dave, Nancy and Neil. It was with great sadness when Adam and I learned about the passing of Marion. Marion was like another Grandmother to Adam and we will miss seeing her and enjoying her company at the family functions. Marion always treated us like one of her family and we know that she will be greatly missed. Rest in Peace Marion you are with the angels now.

Our sincere condolences are extended to Bill, Nancy and Family, Neil, Marlene and Family and Dave, Elly and Family on the passing of Marion. Although we have only known Marion for a few short years, we enjoyed our visits and shared our passion for football. We will miss our regular phone conversations with Marion after every Eskimo or Rider football game. We cherish fond memories of Marion

Dear Mr. Duff, David, Nancy & Neil: It was with great sadness that I heard of Marion's passing. I spent a lovely day at Rosedale with her, Bill and my parents, Bob and Joyce, a year ago and I am so glad that I had that time with them all. Her cookies, as usual, were perfect! I know you will all miss her dearly, as will my family. With much affection, Laurie (Butler) Szabo-Sorochan

Marion was our special social convener for Laurier Heights. She was gracious, caring and shared her birthday, September 19, with me. I shall miss her yearly Christmas card with all the news from home. She will be missed.
