Dear Kent and family, or most heartfelt condolences for your loss. In the past 5 years when she forced you to chase us down in our Tesla, we got to know a very kind caring friend. Thanks for all the warm memories we have shared. She was always so ready to help and care for people with a sparkle in her eyes and a warm smile. As sad as it is to loose such a fine friend it is a relief to know she does not have to face the pain she was in. Rest In Peace Marianne.
Nathan, so sorry to hear about the passing of your mother, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your lovely family. Lorne, Inge, Jessica and Jordan (Misty and Hazel too)
