Glen and family, my very deepest condolences on the loss of your lovely wife, Marie.
Dear Glen and Family
While our two families have lived some distance apart for many years I want to tell you that we have always felt very close as cousins to you and Marie. As a young boy visiting many times the Topping farm with my parents, it was always fun to visit Marie upstairs. She was always so kind and welcoming to us children. I know my mother and father, Jean and Charles thought the world of Marie. Throughout our adult life the pleasure of seeing Marie and you whenever we had the chance to visit London for various family events was a delight to us. Know that you are all in our thoughts as we too grieve a wonderful human being and a lady to admire.
Our sincere condolences on the loss of Marie, to Glen and the family! She was blessed with a long and wonderful life!
Truly saddened by this loss. She was an incredible and compassionate woman, mother, wife, and aunt.
Those we love don’t go away
They walk beside us every day
Unseen, unheard, but always near
Still loved, still missed, and very dear,
Death leaves a heartache that no one can heal
But love leaves memories no one can steal.
Rest in peace and may our roads cross once again Aunt Marie.
To Glen and family, my condolence on the passing of Marie. She will be sorrowfully missed.
I have very fond memories of Marie. She was such a sweet, caring person and always made us fell at home on our visits. My condolences to Glen and family.
