I am so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Marion. She was a neighbour back in the days when our family lived on O'Dell. She babysat we children a couple of times. My mother and I had a nice chat with Marion at the Brigden Fair a couple of years ago. She had recognized us and came over to speak to us. I remember her as having such a pleasant way about her. In talking with her and about her family, I realized that I knew Meghan for quite some time but did not realize the connection. My condolences to you all. She was a special lady.

I am so shocked to hear of Marion's passing. We grew up across the street from each other on O'Dell Avenue in Sarnia. She and my brother, Rick, shared the exact birth date. I am so sorry for your loss. May she rest in the arms of God and find eternal peace. My sincerest condolences to all that loved her.
