Such a terrible thing to happen to a wonderful lady, of whom was a very close friend of my mother for over 20 years. They worked together in Beales, and were enjoying their retirement, still meeting regularly for a coffee and a chat. She was a power of strength for my mother when my father died, and a true and devoted friend. RIP Marion - God Bless You x x x

I have known Marion all of my life and saw her as one of the family. She was a true friend to my Grandad and was there for him after my Nan died, and also when he died. She has done so much for my family and I feel sad and sickened by what has happened. I will always love and remember her and hope she is now at peace with my Dad, Nan, Grandad and all of her friends and family she has rejoined. XXX
