Messages of Condolence

  • Marie was an amazing lady who I have so much time for.

    As a manager she was so supportive and helped me shape the early part of my career quite rapidly which i will forever be grateful for.

    But not only did she help shape my career, she also helped shape me as a person as I looked up to her and aspired to be just like her on both a work and personal basis. She conducted herself in such an amazing way with her infectious personality and amazing sense of humour.

    And i have to admit, she did tell me off on a number of occasions, but she seen a potential in me and made sure that she unlocked it to let me and helped me to flourish.

    The stories about her life, her travels and her experiences i could sit and listen to for hours. She was truly a fascinating lady.

    Marie probably never knew just how much i thought of her, but i can say to her family, my life is so much better for Marie being part of it and i am so proud to say that not only was she an amazing person and manager, i am blessed that i get to call her my friend!

    I would like to send my love, thoughts and deepest condolences to the family.
