Dearest Wendy, I’m rarely on Facebook but have just seen your post! Marie and Chris were phenomenal human beings with hearts of gold! I am so sorry to hear your news, I hope you, and your sisters are okay. 💔
Marie made my wedding flowers, I still remember them , she loved Merrill’s youth group as if each was her own. She was hospitable, down to earth and a smiler, with a great sense of humour and gave good advice when asked, I will miss her, but she is at home now. She’ll be telling Chris all that she missed out on while he’s been gone.🤣
My lovely, Mum, Sean and my brothers all send our condolences to you and the family. 🌹
Lots of hugs.🥰

Hi Wendy, my deepest sympathy to you and all the family. Marie was one of a few people who touched my heart years ago in a personal and very practical way when I came back in this country to live. Her thoughtfulness and kindness towards Joy and myself has never been forgotten. Her love for the Lord and others went far beyond what would be expected. May God's peace be with you all at this time. Joy and I will keep you all in our prayers. Much love and blessings

Oh no! My heart goes out to you all. Your Mum was so steadfast in serving God and such a practical help to those in need. I have many fond memories when living with your parents when I was new to my faith. Marie amazed me in how she cared for the challenging children she fostered. Xx

Hi Wendy, I am so sorry to hear about your mum.
I am sorry I have not been able to make it to her funeral, but I have been thinking about you.. Your mum was so special, she did so much for so many people and was one of those gentle, selfless people who went out of her way to support others.
She and your dad were really supportive for Laurence and myself too.
I have really fond memories of coming over to your house where it was practically an open house for all us young people to come. It was a safe and happy place for all of us.
I know you are going to really miss her and it must feel strange that she is no longer with us, but I know that more people than you would ever know, have nothing but the most loving things to say about both her and your dad. In the coming weeks and months, I hope you are surrounded by lots of loving people.
Rachel
