I find it so hard to believe you are gone. Just found out and am saddened by the news. You most certainly had a lot of energy and spunk and we hung out in our twentyfold and we just lost touch but that does not negate the fact that you touched me deeply. Rest in peace Jai - Posted by: Friend () on: Nov 13, 2013

Just heard the sad news of Jai's passing and wanted to add my condolences to her family and friends. I spent a lot of time with Jai in year's past and always found her a loyal friend and a fun and caring one too. I look forward to the day her smiling face will greet us all on the other side. - Posted by: Cori () on: Sep 19, 2013

Oh Marion. I was so saddened to hear of your passing. Why does God always take the one's with the most life in them? Look for Pam up there because she passed 2 weeks after you did. You will be greatly missed my friend. - Posted by: Maureen Hanaway (friend) on: Jul 01, 2013

Marion my heart sank when I heard the sad news. Marion and I went to Gordon Bell High School together and were great teammates and competitors. She was an amazing athlete all around, but she left an indelible impression on me with her hockey skills, WOW. I had only seen her sporadically since we graduated from Gordon Bell in 1982. I moved from Winnipeg in 2006 and ran into her on one of my visits back. That was an unexpected but happy surprise! She was smiling and bouncing around like a kid in a candy store, that's how she always was every time I saw her. Her whole heart showed through her smile!!! I'll miss that. I am truly saddened by her passing. My deepest condolences to Marion's family and everyone who had been close to her over the past years. Valerie.
