Tim, Terry and family
My sympathies to you on the passing of your mom
and grandma. Our thoughts and prayers are with you
at this sad time.
Sincere condolences to all Marie's family members. She will always hold a special place in my heart. Marie was our organist at Knox Presbyterian Church in Harriston, for many years. She played for our wedding in September of 1969. Over the years we have met in many places throughout town and always shared a few words with each other. Her smile would brighten the day. I will never forget her. Since I had not seen her for the last few years, I didn't realize what a marvelous age she had attained.

Tim, Terry and families, we are so sorry to hear of Marie's passing. She was such a lovely lady. Cherish your memories.

My deepest sympathy is extended to all of Marie's families. She and I became quite well acquainted through our teaching profession. One occasion was particularly memorable when we went as "roomies" to the teachers' convention in New York City. The teachers travelled by train and we sometimes would recall the time about midnight, when there was a "sudden chug" the moment that an extra engine was added to the train to help get us up the mountains (back in the '60's) ! Relish and share your many memories of Marie.
Pauline Brown
My deepest condolences to Nicole, and The Andrews family. My thoughts are with you.
— Trina, November 6, 2023My deepest sympathy for all of Maries families. She was a great asset to the schools. Well loved and appreciated.
— Karen Switzer and Jim Seifried, November 6, 2023Tim, Terry and the entire Andrews family. Karl and I would like to extend our condolences to all of you. Living on the same street for many of our childhood years we became good friends with your family and have many good memories of life on the street. We have continued being fast friends with Terry throughout the years adding to the list of memories. Your Mom, I am sure taught all of us at one time or another. One of my last Memories of Your mom was meeting her at the post office. We had such a good talk. Hold fast to the memories as your Mom has left you with many.
