While our acquaintance with Marie may have been through simple friendly neighborly chats, our hearts are indeed heavy with her passing. When we arrived in the neighborhood four years ago, Marie welcomed us with a plate of homemade cookies. I was tickled to see that tradition still practiced but more importantly honored and touched that someone would take the time and effort for people they hadn't even met yet. It was a caring and classy gesture that told me everything I needed to know about her and the neighborhood. Marie was an ever-friendly and conscientious individual whose presence on our block will be missed. May God bless her on her journey.

My sincere condolences. Our mothers' friendship was long and deep. We have many great memories and great appreciation for having Marie in our lives growing up and especially for what a constant support and friend she was to our mom, prompting a slew of emails back and forth between Gary, Chris, Jennifer and me. I'm sorry for your loss. She was a great lady!

I am so sorry to hear about Aunt Marie. It is always hard to lose a parent. My memories include trips to Glen Island and one of you putting seaweed all over me. All great memories. I also loved getting a Christmas card every year from Aunt Marie. I know you will all miss her. Love Jean(Dave)
