We are so sorry to hear of your mom and grandma's passing. We had the pleasure of meeting her several times in Ottawa and a special ski trip to Bromont many years ago. We will treasure those memories and hold her memory close to our hearts as you celebrate her long, long life this week.
I know words can say very little of the time like this and we are hoping that our heartfelt love for your family will help carry you through this very tough time.
Looking forward to seeing you all sometime soon.

It has been a pleasure to get to know and care for your mom in this last year! Still makes my heart smile when I think of the time she came back from the hairdresser and she announced that she was a new woman!!!

We were saddened to hear of (Aunt) Marion's passing. Even though we weren't exactly related, she was considered family. Our families were very close for many years. Our thoughts go out to each and every member of the Richards family.

Marion always had a special place in her heart for me.
She was comforting my Mum on March 10,1947 when they got the news of
the train wreck in Scott's Junction and My dad Wallace sr. was killed. My mum was carrying me and Marion was carrying Gary. They were living next door to each other
at the Billing Farms in St. Elie. Gary and I often played together. Marion was always pleased to see me when I visited her at Grace Village and even when she could not speak,
there was a little smile of recognition. Marion was a kind and loving lady to all those who were fortunate to know her. Wallace

Just to let you know that you are all in my thoughts at this very sad time. Marion was such a wonderful, kind and gentle person and we had some great laughs and fun with she and Nelson when we all lived in Birchton.
May your memories of your Mom help you through this very sad time.
