My sincerest condolences at this very difficult time. It is truly the mark of a life well lived to be surrounded by such a large, loving family.
"Perhaps they are not stars that shine at night, but rather the light of our loved ones showing us that they are at peace."
So sorry to hear of your loss. Much love to you and your family.
Merv, I am shocked and saddened to hear of Marlyn's passing. Her smiling face and friendly camaraderie will be greatly missed at the RA diamonds for both Monday and Tuesday ball games. My sincere condolences to you at this difficult time.

De la part de Louise et moi nous offrons toute nos symphaties à toi et ta famille. Je suis persuadé qu'elle fu une mère fantastique.
Richard,
Lynne Laplante alerted me of your mom's passing. Please know that I am thinking about you and your loss.
I hope you are well.

I was greatly saddened to read of Marlyn's passing. The two of you were icons for many years on the ball diamonds at the RA Centre. Together you made a great team. The 60+ league will miss her smile, dedication and energy. My sincerest sympathies to you and your family.
I'd like to extend our sincerely condolences to Marlyn's family on behalf of our (her) 60+ softball league in Ottawa. The grands and great grands are lucky to have known such a vibrant spirit. Along with Mervyn, Marlyn was the first to be officially recognized for long-time contribution to the League. Although she won't be back on the field with us in 2018 as she planned, her memory will remain with us.
"What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why you left this earth, or why you left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, we begin to remember not just that you died, but that you lived. And that your life gave us memories too beautiful to forget"
I am so very sorry to hear of your loss. I hope thoughts and memories of happy times help you through this difficult time.
Allo Richard,
Christine et moi voulons offrir nos sincères sympathies. Nous ne pourrons malheureusement pas assister au service funéraire mais nous sommes avec vous en pensées dans cette épreuve.

Our deepest and sincerest condolences on this terrible loss. My wife and I are shocked and so incredibly saddened by this unexpected and terrible news. Marlyn was a much-loved player and team captain of the 60+ Slo-Pitch league. We loved her strong, take-charge, no guff, personality, and her sense of humour. We were just assuming that we would be on the diamond with again next year. But dam, that won’t happen. We will be thinking of her though next spring, at that first ball game.
Merv - we are so so sorry for your loss.
Al & Marilyn Gillich
Hard to believe she's gone. My sincere condolences to you, Peter and the rest of the family.
Merv, so very sad to hear of Marlyn's passing. Loved that woman, so very nice and a really
giving person. i'm sure you will miss her terribly, but will have so many wonderful memories
which in time as we know will bring you great comfort as will your family.
haven't seen you in a while but hope you are doing well, at least as well as we can at our advancing age.
Thinking about you,
My best wishes, Mark
We are so sorry to hear of Marlyn's passing. Our sincere sympathies to you and your family.
Sincères sympathies à vous et la famille.. vous perdez une personne spéciale mais vous garderez toujours de beaux souvenirs de votre temps ensemble.
Sincères sympathies à vous et la famille.
So sad to hear about Marlyn's passing. I had the privilege of playing the last few games of the 2017 season under her captaincy and had a great time. A very competitive lady but stressed having fun no matter the score. She will be missed by all.
God bless you.
Barry & Claire Rivers
I will always remember Marlyn for her passion for softball and how welcoming she was to me when I first played in the 60+ league. She was a real people person & we enjoyed many laughs over the years. Her passing really shocked me as it was so recent that we were on the field together. The sadness I feel will be shared by many others. My deep condolences to you and your family,Merv. Bob Hansis
Our heartfelt sympathies for your loss. Thinking of you during this difficult time. Love and hugs.
Nous tenons à t'offrir ainsi qu'à toute la famille toutes nos sympathies à l'occasion du décès de ta mère. On a longtemps joué au volleyball avec toi et ta mère à la polyvalente. Nous vous souhaitons beaucoup de courage pour cette lourde perte.
If Roses grow in Heaven
Lord, please pick a bunch for us,
Place them in our mother's arms,
And Tell her they are from us.
Tell her We Love her and miss her,
And when she turns to smile,
Place a Kiss upon her cheek
and hold her for awhile.
Because remembering her is easy,
We do it every day,
But there's an ache within our hearts
that will never go away.
We, the bowling league of the Legion, wish to offer you , our deepest sympathies. Marlyn was a very nice lady.
We both always enjoyed Marlyn's company and are very disappointed that she's no longer part of our life.
So sorry to hear of Marilyn’s passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you during this time of sorrow.
I’m trying to contact Donald and Beth. We have lost contact over the years since my mother’s passing. Would you have a phone number or address for them? I’d like to attend the funeral tomorrow but the address for this funeral home is not listed on the 411.ca .I would need directions and would perfer to travel with someone else to attend the funeral.
My number is 613 543 2317 or 613 363 5895. I’m Jean Sutton’s daughter from Winchester.
If you could get back to me I’d appreciate it.
Thanks and I’ll look forward to hearing from someone in the family.
Give our condolences to all of the members of your family.
