Condolences
Memories that will not fade.
Tropical sunsets, ocean and mountain views, carefree vacations.
Most of all to be by your side, with your smile and sometimes a frown.
18 years, 1 month, 15 days and 11 hours of happiness seems too short….
18 months, 14 days, 11 hours of your suffering breaks my heart and leaves me empty inside.
So long sweetie, not goodbye, until we are reunited in God’s hands.
Love forever,
Austin
Where do I begin…. a true, lasting friendship that goes back a few months short of 60 years. I have been truly blessed in knowing Marilyn. Beyond her beauty, which she didn’t seem to even notice, there was, of course her rich laughter and genuine smile. Coupled with caring and kindness. She will always hold a special place in my heart. Bob also, was privileged and thankful to get to know her over the years.
Something I wrote quite some time ago rings true as I reflect and remember my dear friend –
Strange thing about death.
It robs the survivor
of life also
for unknown seasons.
To all her dear family and Austin, hold fast to those memories that warm your hearts bringing some peace to your soul. Take care as best you can. Allow her memory to live on.
With love and caring,
Bob and Muriel Tataryn

Dear family,
I worked with your Mom for years at Purdys. We had many good times together taking golf lessons and aqua size. I would really like to attend her memorial service so please let me know when it is.
Thinking of you all.
Shirley
Dearest Lori & Family:
So terribly sorry to hear of the loss of your Mother. I have fond childhood memories of you and your family when you lived across the street from us in Regina. I was always in awe of your Mom, she was such a kind, gentle, down to earth beautiful person! Cherish her memories and keep them close to your heart. Gone but never forgotten…
Sincerely; Cheryl Runge (nee: Charbonneau)+ Tille Charbonneau (my mom)
Dear Lori and family,
I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s recent suffering with ALS and share your relief that she no longer is in pain. May your grief be tempered by many beautiful memories and the legacy she left in you and your family.

oops sorry that should read non judgmental not un – I can see Marilyn gently telling me it is wrong HA
Marilyn,
We spent so many wonderful times with you. Especially sharing our memories of trips to Mexico. You were so full of life in spite of your illness. When we think of you Marilyn, we will miss your warmth, smile, laughter and the fun times we had together. We could not ask for more in a sister/sister-in-law.
Our condolences to Lori, Cathie, Terry, Greg, their families and Austin.
Love, Jim and Olga
Lori, Terry, Cathie, Greg Your mom was without a doubt the nicest, the kindest, most unjudgemental and most forgiving person I ever met. Not to forget she had such a great sense of humour! I was always so proud that she was my cousin. We had such good childhood memories. Love Marlene
Dear Lori, Terry, Cathie and Greg
Your mom was such an inspiration over the past year, her strength, unselfishness, and positive outlook on life and her illness was amazing. I am so grateful for the time we spent together, trip to Mexico, & visits to Bowser, etc over the past few years. I feel very blessed to have such a beautiful person for my big sister!
Love Auntie Barb& Uncle Ernie
When I think of you my beautiful sister Marilyn, I remember your smile, your laugh and your wickedly sharp sense of humour. You were insightful, smart, intuitive and you knew how to focus on the things that are important in life.
We remember how much you enjoyed our ‘rock garden’ here on Gabriola, and every day, when we look out at the garden, we’ll think of you.
You were a wonderful sister and I will love you and miss you always.
My heart goes out to you Lori, Cathie, Terry and Greg…
Love,
Donna & Garry
Just as I was getting to know you again he took you away from me, but I will cherish all the time we did have together in the past few years, the good laughs at the cabin, your smile, your stories, and most of all your big heart. We will all miss you and meet again one day xo
Lori, Terry, Cathie and Greg – I am so sorry to hear of your mother’s passing.
About 3 months after Shirley’s death, I attended a memorial service the Grey Nun’s hospital held for patients who had died over the previous 6 months. Included in that service was a song that meant a lot to me and helped me in my grieving process. I would like to share the chorus with you:
“Walk in the world for me
Sing a happy melody
And keep my memory not far away
May you find that life will bring
All the best of everything
Take special care of you for me today”
Keep your mom alive in your memories.
Larry, Ryan and Lara
I wish you
sweet dreams of your mother
Where she’s radiant with happiness –
and you are, too,
at being together again,
where you can touch her
and she strokes your hair
and the two of you talk
about anything and everything.
I wish you
sweet dreams of your mother,
where your longing
to have her near
Is fulfilled.
And when you awaken,
you can still feel
her touch,
and it makes you feel
loved all day.
You will be forever in our hearts Auntie Marilyn. Love your niece Shari and Leland Parisian and family.(Regina, Sk.)
Marilyn, my dear dear sister.
I will miss your kindess, smiles and laughter. The talks we shared every week, your love of the mountains and the ocean.
Walking on the beach kicking our shoes off, walking in the water looking for sand dollars and tiny crabs. We all had great fun didn’t we? How you loved watching the little birds the squirrels and the deer, just of all of nature. I always remember when we were on the ferry and you keep saying isn’t this beautiful!
I know how you loved good food and to travel and one of your favorite places was Mexico, the scenery, the kind people there, and again the ocean.
There were so many things I loved about you Marilyn, you were a beautiful person. We will miss you so much. We Loved you very much,
Diane and Jerry
Lori, Terry, Greg, and Cathie We are so sorry for the loss of your Mother.
A POEM, I AM WITH YOU STILL (author unknown): “I give you this one thought to keep, I am with you still–do not weep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow. I am the sunlight on golden grain. I am the gentle autumn’s rain. When you awaken in morning’s hush, I am the swift uplifting rush of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the stars that shine at night. Do not think of me as gone–I am with you still–in each new dawn.” – With loving thoughts from Ruth, Ian and Peter
