from daughter Susan's facebook page -- 21 Jan 2013
Always knew this day would come but no matter what you do, you never are prepared. The loss of our mother is immeasurable and it will be hard for all of our family to get through this. We loved her with all our hearts and there was nothing more important to her than her family. She has left us wisdom and confidence and most of all love. She was mother, teacher, friend. She adored her grandchildren and wanted the best for them. Made them realize the importance of a good educationand encouragethem to always do their best in their studies and lives. She was very proud of all of them. People liked my mother and she always had a good story to tell. She was like a magnet and she attracted people to her. Always positive and could really liftyou up. I already miss her so much. I hope we can all take a part of her with us so when we are out in our world and we are wondering what to do, we will think - what would mom do - what would Marian do. Rest peacefully my mother - you did everything perfectly! You were my best friend and I will always hold you in my heart. Information will be on the George Darte Funeral Homeb website in St. Catharines, tomorrow. Funeral will be Thursday at 11 am. Visitationwill be Wednesday from 2-4 and 7-9.
