We are so very sorry for your terrible loss. Marian was a great woman so full of life and even though we haven’t seen so much of her in recent years as we did when the girls all danced together, we will always cherish the times we spent together whether it was watching Irish dancing, weddings, celebrating pregnancy’s, have the odd rum and coke, cruising or just having a good old chin wag. We’ll miss you dear friend.
