Condolences
Our sympathy to the family at this time. Marilyn was a great neighbour especially when we were new to Mount Forest. We enjoyed many trips to play cards together and many trips through the back yard to visit. It was especially nice to have met Marilyn’s family as well. We will miss her

Dear Family,
We were sorry to hear of the passing of your mother. When we moved to Mount Forest several years ago, we did not know anyone and both Marilyn and John made us feel very welcomed to the town. They were great neighbours.

Karen, Linda, Cameron and families.
We are so very sorry to hear of your Mother's passing. They were such great neighbours. We remember all the good times we had together. The street BBQ's, the Christmas dinners, the card parties, especially the one the power went out and your Dad and Alan hooked up a generator and we continued playing and the day trips we took. We will always have those special memories. Your happy memories will help you get through the sad times. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
