My deep condolences to the Diskey Family and to Margorie’s sister Rose.
I was saddened to read of her passing.
Marjorie worked at the Oshawa Bakery with my Mom Hedwig, and they stayed in touch for years after Mom retired from Oshawa Bakery, thus I got to know Margorie. She was a gentle lady with such kind eyes, a happy heart and a beautiful smile. I would often see her at a grocery store where we both shopped, and Margorie always stopped to chat, was happy to see me and would ask about everyone in our family with truly genuine interest.
Mom spoke very highly of Margorie and I shared her fondness for Margorie.
As time passes your memories of her will grow even sweeter.
It was a gift and a pleasure for me to know a beautiful soul like Margorie.
I am sure my deceased Mom and Margorie have now hooked up once again for a hug and a chat.
Rest in peace, Margorie.

To Marjories loving family
I know how difficult Marjie’s journey was for her and the entire family. My sister Shirley Williamson kept me updated. May I extend my deepest condolences to all. Over the years your Mom never changed. She was always kind and loving. I was the younger sister growing up but she never treated me as such.
I know there is going to be a huge hole in every bodies hearts but hopefully all of the loving happy memories will help to fill the void.
May she Rest In Peace and blessings be upon the family.

Dear Uncle Frank, Rose, Ron and Nancy,
Wishing you strength and comfort in the days to come. Aunt Marj always had a way of making people feel special. Her greetings usually began with a hug, a smile and a kind word and ended with a plate of watermelon or perhaps a box of apples. Thank you for making the world a brighter place. In deepest sympathy, Valerie.
