Sharon Rounds
Marion and family, I am so sorry to hear of Marshall’s passing, the last of the brothers in Christina’s family. I have wonderful memories of him as an uncle and advisor, and am feeling grief, and also admiration for the way he carried on. He could not have done so well without Marion, his true life partner and support. May you find peace in wonderful memories, and support from both family and friends. I will be unable to attend the funeral, but will come by on my next trip to the area and bring Ada and Dorothy. I have notified the family in my branch, Vern sends condolences from Europe and Faye from Vancouver, as do Ada and Dorothy from Stratford. Much love to all, Sharon
