Death notice for the town of: Welland, Province: Ontario
To Mrs. Marr, you don’t know me, i am a friend of Diana’s and i am sorry that your husband of all the years you spent together being joined in marriage and raising a family has passed away. Life throws events at us and we all deal differently with each one. I saw you and your family at the Blue Star last evening and you all looked like a strong troop. Your husband would be proud and so should you be, my dear. Take one day at a time and find a new place for your future inside and out ,,to rest and begin to follow a different dream.. Keep caring for all the people and students that enthrall you and make you feel important. I am almost 70 and i find it hard to be needed by my family, instead of “being in the way”. But, you, you have a gift and i hope you keep sharing yourself with the world around you.
P.S. do you take in 70 year old students??If you ever decide to take in senior lady, let me know. God bless your husband, Gary and God bless you. reach out to me for any reason, any time. \Much love, Linda
