It saddened me to read of Marie's death in today's Globe. She was a beautiful lady and a lovely loyal friend. One of my fondest memories is when Auntie Beryl Wood, Marie and Ida Moore hosted a baby shower for my husband, Bob in 1952. Marie dressed up a bottle of wine in baby clothes complete with bonnet. The gift was the hit of the evening and over the years as Bob and I and our children, Marilyn, Michael and Judie visited Marie, this baby shower story was told over and over again. I last saw Marie the summer before Beryl's death. Marie arrived on the bus in time for dinner. We had a wonderful visit. I remember Beryl fussing until Marie called that she was home safely. We enjoyed having Marie in our lives and please accept our condolences. Lois Strong 232-863 Leon Ave. Kelowna, BC V1Y 9V4
