  2. The loss of Marie is felt at Heritage Manor. Even though her time with us was short, she brought a gentle warmth that people noticed. We were only beginning to know her, which makes her passing feel especially sudden.

    Our thoughts are with Marie’s family as they grieve. Know she was cared for and appreciated during her time here.
    Lots of love from Katie Jeremiah and the Lifestyle Team at Heritage Manor

  4. I’m so deeply sorry that I can’t be there today to say goodbye to Aunty Marie. My heart is with you all.

    I have such special memories of visiting her when I was young—those times will always stay with me. She was a warm, caring presence in my life, and I’ll always remember her kindness and the love she showed our family.

    Please know I’m thinking of you all today and sending my love. I hope you can find comfort in the beautiful memories we all share of her.

    Rest peacefully, Aunty Marie 💓🌸💓🌸💓
