years she was such a kind & loving person.
my heart goes out to all of the family.
My deepest condolences to Bernard (Uncle Benn) , family and Uncle Pat.
I have fond memories of Mrs. Benn growing up, from her helping me sew my grade eight graduation dress to her amazing cooking.
She was a wonderful woman and one you held dear to your heart.
Thank you for sharing her kindness with us.
Dear Bernard and your family. We are so sorry to read that Marian passed away. For those who wonder who we are, we were neighbours. We lived across the road from the farm. We moved away 40 years ago, but Marian and I exchanged Christmas cards every year. I looked forward to hearing about family, old friends and neighbours. Last Christmas, Bernard telephoned Merry Christmas wishes and updated us, as Marian was unable to.
She left so many good memories for all of you, she was so very proud of all of you.
Our most sincere sympathies.
Claire and Dan Vickery
Condolences to you, Bernard and your family.
From an early age, Marian was a wonderful, kind person. She was so helpful to our mother, her aunt, Bertha(Stortz) on the farm near Mount Forest, when babies arrived. Marian was so kind to her mother, Celia, and her aunts and uncles. I recall her caring ways and contagious smile.
