To The Stranks' Family,

It was with sadness that I heard from my Mother, Marion Marks, of your Mother's passing. Marjorie was always a woman full of life and doing good deeds around our neighborhood when we were growing up. She lived a good long life and I am sure you will all miss her. Our prayers are with you all at this time.

Dear Julie, Susan and Marnie and families:
I will miss "Mrs Stranks'" indomitable spirit and our enjoyable, and humourous chats. She was a "force".
Marjorie was always very proud of her family, and my sympathies go out to you on your loss.

To the Stranks family,

We are sorry to hear about your loss, she was a wonderful lady. Our thoughts are with you.

"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy. "

To all those who were touched by this wonderful woman, I offer you my deepest sympathy. While studying in Ottawa, she watched over me during my first few months there and made my transition away from my home a successful one. I will always remember her passion, energy and determination. She will always have place in my thoughts.
