So sad reading of Marion’s passing. I was Marion’s cleaner at her house at Bupa before I moved to Colac Bay. We always had good yarns, she was such a lovely caring person.

Thinking of you Sandy and your family as you adjust to life without your mother. You have been a wonderful loyal and loving daughter to her. You will have lots of memories to reflect on. With our love

Our thoughts are with you all at this very sad time. We always enjoyed our visits from Marian and going to see her, her conversation was always very positive and she was very interested in our lives, but her happiest chats were when she was talking about her family and Maggie. A truly beautiful lady.
Russell & Sandra, Invercargill
Our sincere condolences to you all. May the precious memories of Marion carry you through this sad time.

Well the last of the Mokoreta gang gone. I've been thinking about our younger days at the Caddon Valley lately. The Moss, Wensley, McRae and Robbs. You've been fortunate Sandy having your mum for so long. Please know that you and your loved ones are in my thoughts. Peter and I were reminiscing just recently about our farming life at Mokoreteville (as Pete and I called it) I'm very sorry for your loss. Take care and much love from your (not so) old neighbour

Thinking of you Sandy and family. Always enjoyed a catchup chat with Marion but haven't for sometime. Know you all will have some wonderful memories to cherish though. Deepest Sympathy.
