Heartfelt condolences,
Recognized your mom right away.
I remember her as a quiet fun loving lady, Our parents and yours had such good times.
The memories will remain with you forever.
It is with much sadness that learned of Marilyn’s passing I extend my sincerest condolences to her family who are left to mourn her. I only met her once or twice over the years . Her husband Bill and I are cousins. I have been doing research on the family tree for a couple of months and had just entered my aunt Winnies and Uncle Pat’s names and their children & spouse’s names to my family tree. I have pictures of the Donovan Family’s , Bob & Delores , Bill & Marilyn ,also Jean so while we were never very close I feel a strong connection to her. May God shower his riches Blessings on your family’s and may Marilyn rest in the arms of Jesus. Edward Freeman
I am very sorry to hear that your dear mom has passed away. My parents always had fond memories of Marilyn and Bill when we lived on Simcoe St. I remember her kindness and gentle manner too when she worked at Loblaws. Sending my sympathy to you Marcia, Kim, Jeff and families.
