David, Bill, Linda and Kenny, We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. She was a beautiful lady. There are a few couples I have come across in my life that stand out, your mom and dad will forever be one. They always made you feel welcome and treasured, were exciting and fun to be around. I still quote Marion's marriage advise to others as I carry on, on this beautiful journey of life. Her advise was: kiss.. keep it simple stupid. Thinking of you all during this difficult time, sending much love to all.

We extend our sincere sympathy to all of Marion's family. We knew them from the "old Agincourt days", the 1950's. Gib knew them all including Harold. Our thoughts are with you.
