Dear Brenda & family: So sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. I have fond childhood memories of our families getting together.
Brenda and Shaun, Marion was an amazing woman, always caring, always watching out for her neighbors. She had a great sense of humor and a remarkable optimism in the midst of life's challenges. She has touched many lives and made them better. What a way to leave the world!
Dear Brenda and Shaun, Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this very sad time as you mourn the passing of Aunt Marion. Love Glenn and Karen
I was sad to learn of Marion's passing. Although I will miss her sweet compassion concern for all those with TN she will be pain free at last and will be reunited with Walter who she missed ever so much. She was so kind and it is a great credit and legacy to her for starting the TN Association and the local TN group in Lethbridge and staying with it for so many years even when it was so hard for her because of her failing health. She was a great help to so many people. Please accept my deepest and sincere sympathy. She was well respected and will be greatly missed.
Brenda and Shaun, I am so sorry for your loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you both.
I am so sorry to hear that Marion died. I had great respect for her - she was such a fireball! She was so kind to me and so hospitable. Brenda and Shaun, my sincere condolences on your loss. Now she is free of pain. XXOO
It is never easy to loose our Mothers. My thoughts and prayers are with you at such a difficult time. Sincerely, Sue
Marion was such a guiding light and force to be reckoned with. She came into our lives through our teenage daughters fight with Trigeminal Neuralgia, but she quickly earned a permanent spot in our hearts. She truly cared about her TN family and we will all do our best to honour her memory moving forward. Rest now dear Marion.
Thank you Marion for creating a place for people with TN to come together. Your thoughtfulness is so much appreciate. To the family, my deepest and most sincere sympathies.
