May you find in comfort that Aunt Marion is with her Saviour & safe in His loving arms & back with Uncle Les. My heart also feels your sorrow & loss. She was such a wonderful, loving, giving Aunt whose memory I will always treasure.

My love & prayers are with all of you.

Betsie, Barrie, Richard, Kathy and family:
It’s always difficult to lose someone who loved you and whom you love dearly. Our deepest condolence and sympathy are with all of you.
When we first came to Canada from China twenty years ago, Marion and Les gave us unselfish care and unconditional love that made us feel we were home. In our hearts, they were, are and will always be our Canadian mom and dad.
We will miss them and love them forever!
Wish you all recover soon from the sadness of Marion’s passing!
Take care!
Love,
Rest In Peace, Granny Marion. Your Christian teachings in my early years taught me one of the most important virtue in life — compassion. From Veggie Tales to magazine subscriptions, from fabulous sandwiches to heartfelt handwritten letters, you have influenced my life in a way that has changed me for the better forever. I am happy for you as you are now reunited with Grandpa Les. You are already missed.
On behalf of the Ramsay family, I extend to Marion’s family our sincere sympathy. Our parents, Ralph and Isabel, were such good friends with Marion and Les in New Liskeard and at their respective cottages.
I am deeply sorry to hear about your mother Marion.I am remembering our good times at”First” UCW. Kiselo,STCI parties and curling with your dad Les.
I just wanted to express my sympathy to Marion’s family. Yesterday was Chelsey Park Metro Morning, and I did announce Marion’s passing there. Marion was such a faithful attender at our services at Chelsey Park herslef, and I considered her our “encourager” – she was always calling people about the service and reminder them on a Wednesday morning that it was church time. I did miss her when she went to Oak Crossing, but certainly valued the support from both Les and Marion while they were at Chelsey. Again, my sympathy in this loss. Herbert.
A wonderful and compassionate lady and a loving mother to my friend Barrie. I will alleays treasure the arts she gave me on a specials occasion…
Our sincere condolences to the Brayford and Haddad families. Our thoughts and prayers are with you today.
I know you all will have many wonderful memories of your mother and grandmother and time will make them only more precious.
Dear Barrie, Betsie,Campsall Family
Thinking of you all as you celebrate Marion’s life. Marion was a beautiful person with a kind open heart. She made a difference in my life helping me through those teenage years. Her guidance & time at Alma College kept me on the right path. She will be remembered as a kind, caring person as well as a beautiful artist of nature.
The entire Brayford & Campsall family have touched my heart in so many ways.
Thinking of you all & hoping you find peace on this day of remembering.
Love Arlea ??
Marion Brayford – Our Mom
She lived her life as a true Christian with a personal commitment to her faith and belief in prayer that was an inspiration to us all.
She was a truly generous person with a focus on helping others and not on herself.
Many of us here today benefitted from her generous spirit and there are some here who had the odd tap on the shoulder, delivered personally or spiritually, to help her with her efforts.
In my case she took a child that was an emotional challenge and turned him into a reasonably well adjusted adult. My speech, my perspective.
I can only imagine the patience and generousity of spirit required for that.
Thank goodness she had my sister as a counter balance.
Thank you Bets and Rick for the exceptional continuing care and support given to our parents, especially in these last years.
It’s the ultimate Catch 22 of life. We want the ultimate peace for our loved ones to relieve them from their suffering but we don’t want the reality of them being gone.
With Moms support and prayers Bets and I have wonderful, loving supportive spouses and families and the very best of friends and relatives.
Thank you all for being in our lives, for being here today to share in our grieving and thank you Mom for your prayers and support. God be with you and you with Him.
