Deepest sympathies to all Marge’s family. She was a beautiful, larger than life fireball, whom we didn’t meet her until she was in her late 80’s at a family reunion in Nova Scotia. She arrived in some splendor, the best dressed person in the room and loving it. Marge was my father’s (Alden Hayman) 1st cousin. We discovered, after she’d got Doug onto the dance floor, that we both lived in Victoria. While we didn’t share a lot of time with Marge, we enjoyed her company and her joie de vive. She introduced us to Tom Morrissey’s music and he played last week at our wedding, the day Marge passed away. We had hopes that Marge would be there, but it was not too be. Marge lived a rich, full life. We will miss her.

Sherry, Bob and families, The service for your mom was lovely, just like Marge. So glad to have been able to see the service here in Ontario via Zoom. I couldn’t be happier to have seen Marge just 2 weeks before she passed when visiting Victoria. Your family were like family to us and we missed our time together when we moved away. You were so very fortunate to have her so
mentally able right to the end. I’m glad I was able to see her and reminisce, she will be missed.
Dear Sherry,Bob and family:So very sorry for the loss of your mother.A beautiful woman inside and out.
I will remember her fondly. And how she loved to dance.Sending deepest sympathy and condolences to you at this difficult time.
Love and hugs to you and your family.
Sincerely,
Dilys Wakal
