Marion was a beautiful lady and dear friend to me, whose glowing and generous spirit filled every room she entered. I feel blessed to have known her, felt the warmth of her love and shared so many special times together. I can still hear her wonderful, infectious laughter and will love and miss her all of my days. My thoughts and prayers are with David, Lynda and Justin, everyday. - Love, Larry

Dear David and Lynda,
I am left without the words to express my deep sorrow for the loss of beautiful mom. I never considered Marion my friend's mom...she was MY FRIEND. I adored Marion from the moment I met her. Her smile lit up the room and I was greeted with the warmest hug and a welcome that made me instantly feel a part of the family. I treasure every moment I had with my friend who very quickly became my second mom. So at this time, I would like to say thank you to my cherished friend Marion, for the honor of being able to call her friend, the fun and joy she brought to my life and for her beautiful spirit. Although we have been apart through miles and time, just knowing Marion was sharing this earth with me made it a much brighter place to be. I love you mom

Dear Lynda, David and Justin,
I know that it has been many years since we last got together, but your mom was very special to me and i'll never forget the support that she had given me through the years. It is devastating to loose a parent. Life will be forever different for all of you. Thinking of you at this most difficult time. All our love and Blessings, Mare and Auntie Muffie.

My dearest nephew David, Niece Lynda, & Great nephew Justin - we have thought of nothing else since we heard of the passing of our sister. Words cannot express the multitude of feelings and thoughts that engulf us. We have been too far away for too long and cannot, in this world, make up for our absence. We can only hope that the intensity of our thoughts of caring for you have somehow come through so that you know we share your grief. We treasure the picture that is attached here. All our love,
Brother Don, Sister Joyce and Nephew Robb from afar.
