"Memories don't leave like people do."
Fond memories of you live on.
You were a loving  and kind cousin.
 God bless the fruit of your womb.

This is Patrick Jr. just wanted to send my heartfelt condolences to the family in this time of mourning. My prayers go out to all of you. GOD bless!!

Mrs. Marjie!

Auntie, as family, you are very deeply loved.  I will always remember your funny little chuckle. Whether to humor me or to laugh with me, you were always kind and sweet.  I always marveled how you and Amanda appeared identical to me, I usually couldn’t  see the similarities in kids and adults.  May God lift you up into His paradise. May He love you, how you have loved so many, with kindness and sweetness. 

My Grant family. 
I share in your sorrow and extend my condolences. My heart is heavy and I hope and pray that you are enveloped in God’s blessings of healing and comfort. I miss and love you all. 

Marge, 

You are the Seed the Master Gardener planted, that Blossomed into a Beautiful special rose, and so he Chose you for His Heavenly Bouquet on High, Where Roses never die. So I think of you, one with the Angels above. Secure, Contented, Surrounded with Love. 

I look back to those great times, we had such fun! The many trips, the shopping sprees “ girl you knew where all the bargains were!”

Rest In Peace 
My friend. 

Deepest of Condolences to my Grants 
Love Carmel, A.B & family 

Dear Marge,
Your presence in my life is truly a blessing.  The most memorable thing for me is your soft, sweet voice with that beautiful British accent.  You were kind, generous and fun.  I loved watching the weekend gang (Grant, Clark, Brown) get together because you all were so happy around one another, it was the best of times. I missed your presence when you relocated to Florida but held on to fond memories of you.  Thank you for being you and sharing yourself with us. 
Always in our hearts.
Love, Michelle, Cindy, Pat, A.B. And Carmel Brown

Marjorie was an exquisite flower full of fragrance and beaming bright. I am blessed  to share memories of her as a young child coming to Manchioneal on holidays when her Grandma Linda would greet her with a kiss and warm hug. We were so excited -  waiting at the gates for her to arrive.   We’d all share a meal and the treat of the day; a visit to Manchioneal town to shop.  At 87 years these sweet and clear memories comfort me. 

Majorie and I went to live in town and I’d take produce from the land to her mother. I enjoyed my visits until I left for England. I managed to see Majorie once in the UK and she was fortunate to leave for the USA. 

Majorie had a close connection to my daughter Beverley so I heard of her well-being through my daughter and my niece Isoline. 

I wish I could have seen Marjorie again but God had better plans for her and called her home. She is at rest and in eternal peace.  

I pray God continues to guide and give hope to her loved ones. Rest in Peace Majorie and may her children continue to honour her memory. 

Love to you all 

Melserta Howard. 



Lisa and Amanda

I’m so sorry for your loss. Your mom was such a wonderful human being.  I thank her for always being so kind to me.  She will be missed. I’m pray for you cousins.   I love you both. 

Growing up, I spent a lot of time at the Grant household.  Mrs. Grant had a heart of gold, she always welcomed me and treated me like one of her daughters.  I was always impressed  by her beauty and amazing smile.  I love you and will miss you.



To Lisa, Amanda and the family,

My memories of my auntie are filled with love, joy and happiness. I will miss her dearly. She had a heart of gold and I will never forget how she introduced me to American foods (love!).

May God continue to bless you and your families and give you the strength to carry on, her love is never forgotten and is here forever more. 

My deepest sympathy to you all. Love you and love you auntie Marjorie!

Dear Grants 
You and my family are family by choice, and Mrs. Marjorie was an auntie I adored. When speaking with her, her calming and gentle speech, shy little smile, and soft childlike little giggle always had a way of putting me at ease. She never made a big fuss about things, well except maybe those volleyball games at FDR park during one of our many family outings there. She was quite the sportswoman!!  And although it’s been quite sometime since I saw her last, I can only remember her giggle, beautiful smile and the last hug she gave me. Thank you Mrs. Marjorie for being a part of my life. You impacted my life more than you’ll ever know, I love you and I will miss you. 
May your souls continued journey be a peaceful one. May the Creator grant you easy transition, and the Ancestors welcome you with arms wide open.  

To the Grant Family
May Divine Comfort surround you all. I love you all. 


Hello Family
Our family griefs with you at the list of your mom . So many fond memories of her and the many gatherings at the old house . May her soul RIP.

We were all reconnecting in the last couple of years, and it is sad that you have left us so soon. 

I remember when we were young and lived in Brooklyn.. My mom and dad Baz Dawkins used to get my siblings and I on the #2 train to the Bronx to visit with his Sister Aunt Annie and Uncle Sigis. Majorie lived in the same household, We got off at 223rd Street and walked to the house. We loved it as kids we got to see our cousin Majorie, Irvin, Lisa and Ananda.. This was always fun times.. We loved having Sunday Dinner. My fond memories of cuz Majorie was she always had a smile on her face and was the sweetest and kindest lady you can meet.  She will certainly be missed. I am saddened by this news praying for our family especially Lisa and Amanda. Losing a mother is a very hard thing to happen love you all my family. Blessings and peace be upon you all and may her soul Rest In Peace.. 

Marjorie , you are one in a million,  there will never be another like you. A speacial person, beautiful soul,  very compassionate, kind  and caring. Blessed with many talents.  I  know that you're resting in God's arms. Sleep on my beloved. Lots of love Ann, Jordan & Aaron

New Neighbors —— Fast Friends!  We shall miss your smile, your laugh and our chats.  Rest well dear lady in the arms of the Father.

To Lisa, Amanda and Family, I share your loss in the wonderful person Marjorie was. I met her over 50 years ago in London through her dear cousin, Christine. Marjorie was a beacon of light. I cannot recall anyone ever having a harsh word to say about her.  She was full of love, kindness, appreciation and care. On our last visit with her while Christine was on vacation here in Florida, we went out to lunch and later for "retail therapy" where she gave us gifts before we left.
The good Lord has a special place for her. Thank you Lord for the ability to grieve, for such sadness teaches us what true joy means. Thank you for your promise that even though sorrows come our way, your sun will shine on us in an new morning as each season of life passes into a new day. 
Rest In Power Marjorie.    

My memories  of my dear cousin Margioria are, when we were children and young adults  in London having carefree fun time.  Her beautiful  smile would light up anywhere we  were and  every place we visited. Her gentle voice would demand you listen. 
The star she was 

The people and family we LOVE
Don't go away, 
they walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, 
but always NEAR 
Still loved, still MISSED 
And very DEAR 

In Deepest
Sympathy 
To:  Daughters Lisa, Amanda and family

I remember when I first came to America permanently, I use to go to Marjorie’s house for dinner.  She would always great me with that smile, I would interpret as you are home and everything will be great. She was strength, love and family. 
When my mother called me today and gave me the news, I became overwhelmed with the feeling of loss.  I want to say to her two beautiful daughters, you carry the smile and the strength of your mother and I’m here for you just like how she would be there for me, here flesh is gone however her spirit is here with us. Sleep in peace Marjorie, gone but can never be forgotten.

I offer my sincere condolences to Marjorie’s family.

In loving memory of my dear cousin Marjorie, who was also my close friend. Marjorie’s mother and my mother where cousins and this is how our friendship began back in 1965, when we both came to England from Jamaica. Through distance in our living arrangements our contact was limited at that time. We reconnected with each other in 1972, randomly meeting in a corridor at work.  Since that day we maintained contact and were very close. 

As adults, Marjorie and I enjoyed many happy vacations in England with our families. When she immigrated to America, we maintained contact through letters, phone and when either of us visited New York or London. I have fond memories of the times that we spent together in Fort Myers. On my most recent visit we went out for lunch, chatted, laughed and even managed to fit in some retail therapy. It was a wonderful day that I will cherish. Marjorie was gentle in nature, generous and very kind and I will truly miss her for the rest of my days. 

May the lord keep her in his tender loving care and may she rest in peace and rise in glory.

From Christine and family.


Each time I think of Marjorie her smiling face appears. She was always so kind and empathetic in her conversations with me and she never changed. For me it was always a pleasure to be in her company. Her last few years were trying; even though she was miles away she was not forgotten. It was sad to know that one so generous of spirit could undergo such distress. To her beautiful daughters  in whom I see her face with the same beautiful smile, your mother was such a dear heart, and you are her heart.  Know that her greatest desire was your happiness and success. Your mother is at peace. Pursue your dreams and be happy.
My heart goes out to the family, please let me know if there is anything I can do. Love you all. 

I met Marjorie many years ago, and her husband at the time Ervin and from that time a mutual friendship was created, Marjorie moved to Florida and the connection was lost but I always enquired about her well being. I was very sad to receive the call that she has passed. Family gathering with her kids and grandkids was always enjoyable. Please accept our deepest condolences, her memories will keep her close at hand.
RIP Marjorie
From Vetie, Gee and the rest of the Thomas family.

My dear Cousin Marjorie...

We made a lot of Memories throughout our Childhood days- no worries in the great big world, all we did was play!

The world changes from year to year 
Our lives from day to day
But the love and memories of you shall never fade away.

Until we meet again Marj, love from Norene & family xxx

Marjorie was a special cousin! We shared the same grandmother "Mama" as she was affectionally called and there my grandfather "Papa". I lived with Mama and Papa in "Country" (Portland) and Marjorie lived with her mother Aunty Tatty in "Town" (Kingston). Marjorie and  Mama had a  special bond that I observed very early. When we were just "little girls",  Marjorie would spend summer holidays with us and her arrival was  always met with a fanfare. Mama would hug and kiss her while smiling and being teary eyed at the same time . She always uttered the usual "Look at my little Madge!" as she kissed her several times. I was never jealous because I too was always very happy to see my pretty little "Town cousin" as she had come to spend time with "me". In addition,  I always eagerly awaited my special gifts and goodies that Aunty Tatty would bring me.

Marjorie always enjoyed  "Country life" because she was who they called in those days a "sweet and contented child" I enjoyed her company and  we enjoyed going to church, Mamas singing and stories both Bible and Anancy, playing games, listening to the fishermen blowing the conch shell to announce  the arrival of the fish, fruit picking and sucking on the juicy sugar cane that Mama peeled. On evenings we looked forward to announcing the arrival of Papa on his mule as he returned from his field and we  always anticipated that something special, that Papa would have for us. Yes, Marjorie  enjoyed the the things that made country life special. I was always sad when Aunty Tatty came to collect her for her return to Town....Then one sad day Mama told me Marjorie and Aunty Tatty had left or were going to leave for England. For many years I did not see my cousin.  Even now as I write I recollect that childlike sadness.....but Aunty Tatty kept in touch with Mama and  I knew Marjorie was okay.

The next time Marjorie and I met was when we were adults and we returned to attend  Mamma's s funeral. lt was "sweet sorrow" for both of us. I can vividly remember  Marjorie's remark as we all reminisced about Mama. She said "I had to be here. Mama always made me feel like somebody. She always made a fuss over me". Marjorie always visited Mama whenever she returned to Jamaica but I never met her because by then I was living in Barbados.

Marjorie and I kept in touch and I visited her in New York where we really reconnected. I was showered with love and kindness and she shared her innermost thoughts about life with me. We later met in  Barbados and here in Lehigh Acres.

I will miss that calm soothing voice. The voice which says peace, be still.  but her memories will still live on. Over the years I have been in touch with Amanda. To her children Amanda and Lisa, her grandchildren, siblings and all of her family and friends my husband joins me in sending our deepest condolences.

Marjorie your memories won't fade. Rest in peace.

My deepest condolences to the Grant family. Losing a mom is the most difficult thing a child can go through and I know from experience that God will carry you through the grief. 
Take comfort in the Lord, rest your head on His shoulders and He will give you the  strength you need. 
Sorry again for your loss.

To my beloved sister Marjorie who has gone but will never be forgotten.
Cherished moments- never forgotten,
Her smile and laugh - never forgotten,
Her generosity and kindness - never forgotten,
Her humility and sensitivity - never forgotten,
Farewell Sis - Travel Well

A Wonderful Grandmother

We had a wonderful grandmother,
One who never grew old;
Her smile was made of sunshine,
her heart was solid gold;

We had a wonderful grandmother,
And that’s the way it will always be, because
She is still keeping an eye on us,
So we will make sure
She likes what she sees.

My heart is broken that my dear friend Marj is no longer here.

I have over 60 years of great memories of you and I playing together as kids.  Going to places like Clapham Common and Battersea Park.

I love you and miss you.  May your soul RIP.  Vida

My memories of my Sister are full of kindness and loving care. She was always giving me things and showing me how much she cared. She never spoke badly anyone.
When growing up our dad would visit her regularly usually on a Sunday and he could not go without me. Then, when i was old enough to go on my own, i took every opportunity to do so. The highlight of my stay with her was going to Battersea Park Fun Fair. Even though she was with all her friends she never left me out, i was there by her side. She gave me my first pair platform Shoes, which was high fashion in them days and i cherished them. The heel broke off several times and i would glue it back again and again. She never came to visit without bring something for all her sibling, all 5 of us.
She was such a beautiful person both inside and out. It was a pleasure being around her. She was intelligent, wise, hardworking and selfless, i always looked up to her with pride and joy.   she was my role model.  
Whether near or far Marjorie was always on my mind and in my heart and she will forever be.
Rest in peace my dear beloved Sister

Rise in Peace Marjori!!!

My Mommy

I always think back to my childhood with such fond memories. You instilled so many values in me not only by your words but by watching your actions. Your actions spoke so loudly; you were the definition of selflessness. Always willing to lend a helping hand, a loving ear and go the extra mile.  I witnessed countless acts of kindness from you growing up which stuck with me throughout the years.  Christmas time is special to me because you always made it special not only for us, but also for others.  I remember you would always have extra gifts under the tree labeled simply “girl” or “boy” at Christmas just in case a child stopped by so they can have something to open. I also remember you would always get “letters to Santa” from work and I distinctly remember one letter the child asked for a warm coat for Christmas and mentioned her mother and brother didn’t have warm coats either. I remember talking about the letter and then going shopping and buying coats, hats scarfs and gloves for each of them plus many toys for the children. This gesture was normal for you but it really sticks out in my memory as something to always live up to.   

You were always so supportive and encouraging in everything we did. You made sure we felt like the we could do and accomplish anything. You emitted only positive energy, thoughts and encouragement. I don’t remember you complaining much at all; you instead opted to see the glass as half full. I live my life as a model of you every day.  

You were an angel here on Earth and now you have taken your rightful place in heaven, my heart aches knowing you are not here in the flesh anymore I miss you so much Mommy and I can hear your voice saying “don’t cry baby doll, I’m fine” …

forever my mommy, forever your baby doll

It takes a special person to raise a special person. My heart goes out to you and your Family. Only time can heal the heartache and pain but the memories of the times you shared with your mother can never be removed. Embrace the love she has for you. Because it is her love that will get you through this and the rest of your life. 

On behalf of The Wilmington (DE) Chapter of The Links, incorporated we send our deepest condolences to Link Lisa and her beloved family. We are praying for you and your family at this extremely difficult time.

Someone as special as a mother is never gone from this world. May you still see her smile in your mirror and hear her voice singing in your heart. We pray for you to have strength in your grieving, and take comfort from all the happy memories you carry.
