I am so sorry to hear that your mother has passed.  She sang at our wedding and had such an amazing gift of her voice.  I hope that your happiest memories will prevail to help you in the days ahead.

Dear Peter, Julie, Linda, Steve, and all your families:  We want to extend our heartfelt condolences on the passing of your dear mother, Marie. I (Cliff) have many fond memories of the time spent with your family on the 4th line and throughout the years—playing hockey on the pond, sharing meals or snacks when invited, or simply hanging out with Pete. Your mother always welcomed me with open arms, a warm smile, and a caring heart even when she may have thought that I was not the best influence on Peter.  LOL

Gabriela was just recalling the other day how, no matter the occasion, if Marie was there, she would always take the time to greet her with genuine warmth and engage in heartfelt conversation. Marie had a special gift for making others feel seen and valued, always offering a kind word. She will be deeply missed by all who had the pleasure of knowing her.

With our sincerest sympathy,
Cliff, Gabriela, and Mackenzie

Peter, Julie, Linda,Stephen and Families.

My Dear Cousins,
I have so many memories from childhood of musical nights with all those who played instruments out in the garage and your Mom singing; the big reunions in the yard of their beautiful house; your Mom singing at my Mom’s (Frances) service, beautiful; the devotion and strength of lifting her voice for Uncle Johnny at his service, stunning. She was such a beautiful soul and meant so much to so many. I am so so sorry that she is gone. God Bless her and bring you comfort.
Love Patti, with Klaus and James

My deepest sympathies in your Mom's passing. She was a very classy lady with a beautiful smile and laugh. I remember booking your Mom & Dad on their 25th Anniversary to Hawaii when I worked at Tyler Travel.  I would run into your Mom periodically in town and we'd catch up a little.  May all the memories you shared provide you comfort at this difficult time.  Rest in peace Marie.

Marie: You sang at our wedding, December 1983. Pat Salt accompanied you that wintry day at Saint Joseph's Catholic Church, Acton. Your voice was one from Heaven and we will never forget you.  Love, Howard and Ann Coultrup

Peter, Julie, Linda, Stephen and families, I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. She was a wonderful woman and a beautiful soul inside and out. I will always remember the great times spent at your house on the fourth line when we were kids and how I was always treated like family by Auntie Marie and uncle Johnny, I will also never forget her kindness, help, and support she gave our family when our mom was sick.  You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time.

Love Jackie Denny

God bless you, Marie.  My condolences to your extended family and friends.  I am so grateful for the opportunity to have known you.  Your beautiful operatic voice graced St. Joseph’s Choir for years.  You had a great sense of humour and enjoyed hamming it up with the Acton Dinner Theatre group.  Thank you, Marie Zions, for enriching the lives of so many.

My heartfelt condolence on your mothers passing.  I  have so many memories of your family , your Dad, your mom, and all of you, as our families intertwined so much for many, many years . From our Dad working with your dad, many days spent at the 4th line house swimming in the pond, listening to your mom singing while our Dad played his accordion for her, and so many more. Over the past years whenever I met your mom, we always had such great conversations.
Keep your memories, She was a great woman.
