Death notice for the town of:Â Amherst, Province: Nova Scotia
My Heart is brokenđź’”. My wonderful Aunt Marion has passed away. She has gone on to meet her beloved, my Uncle Charles. So many fond memories: her salt and pepper shakers that she was so proud of; she would never forget to send us her delicious baked goods during fall yearly; and she would never forget my kids or my grandkids at Christmas. She also lovingly and compassionately took care of my grandparents until they passed. She was simply wonderful. Rest in peace Aunt Marion. You will be sadly missed but never forgotten.
