Joyce and I just heard that Marian had passed away. I had a good visit with her last September where we talked about the many good times our families shared. She was very proud of the achievements of both of you and your families. I will always remember her outging nature and her laugh. Thniking of you and your family.

Dear Doug, Don & families:

Sincere sympathy extended to you and yours.  I have so many memories of both your parents along with the rest of the Beavers.  Our parents certainly knew how to have fun.

Your Mom had a wonderful long life and no doubt will be greatly missed.

Thinking of you all at this difficult time.

Doug, Don and Families, our sympathies go out to you.  What a long life lived well.  Many a night spent at the MacKinnon household on Ross St.  Fish and chip Fridays were the best.  She will be loved and remembered forever.

Lovely visit with Marion last fall as she continued to have that zest for life sharing famiily pictures, dish cloths for me, Bernice, Joanne and memories of the Beavers. From afar, we send our sincere condolences.

Sorry to hear of your mom passing. She was such an interesting woman in so many ways. I know my parents considered Marion and    Donald to be among their very best friends with lawn bowling and bridge and good fun.

Dear Doug, Colleen, Don, Linda and families:

Goodbye do a dear, dear aunt.  Ron and I so enjoyed our last visit with Aunt Marion in September 2017.  She gave me a dishcloth she had recently made.  She was very special to us and we very fondly recall the pleasant visits in Lucknow, Chesley and Calgary.  A life well-lived with a loving, thougtful, engaged family.  Love to all of you.

Ron and Marilyn                                                                              Calgary
