Kevin,
Your mom was a very giving person. She always tried to help others. She was full of faith and encouraging. She prayed for me when I needed the prayers. I enjoyed hearing her laugh. She dedicated herself to help me to run the canteen in Alderney Manor. She never complained and accepted everything with a thankful heart. I am very sad for myself and everyone who loves her. I am happy for her that she no longer suffers and went to her heavenly home. May God comfort you, Zelma, and family.

So Sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. I grew up next door to her and have many memories of her home and playing in the yard.

We were shocked at the news of Marilyn's passing. We lost touch with her and Jim when we were posted to Marville in 1962. We remember her as a lively, friendly girl with a ready smile and a happy disposition. We spent time together when we were all stationed at RCAF Trenton and living in Belleville.

So sorry to hear of Marilyn's passing. Have good memories of going to YCMHS, sharing apartments together and going out for lunch with friends. She is with her Saviour now. Bernice Boudreau
