Aunt Marj will be missed by anyone who knew her. She was an amazing woman and won the award for the sweetest person on earth. She was my favourite Aunt and made the best peanut butter sandwiches ever! Rest in peace Aunt Marj.

Marjorie and Charlie were a delight in the early years as we a grew up on the Woollen Mill Road with the sawmill as the focal point for a lot of activity and memories.
Later Marjorie and Eileen would appear at weddings and get togethers.
Both were a highlight to our family.
Marjorie's laugh would fill the room, and I can even hear it now.
Rest well Marj...and give our best to Charlie...

Marge was a neighbour on Sandusk Road from the time we moved here. Always a smile and wave when she drove by in that little pink car. When my mother passed away on New Year's Day 1989 it was Marge who showed up with an awesome cake that became a birthday cake for a very sad little 8 year old. girl. Thanks for all the visits.Marge , loved my time spent collecting for the heart and stroke, always a good visit. We will your presence here but heaven sure has gained a wonderful person,
