From that very 1st call we had with you, until the very last time I held your hand, only a few days before you left us, you were a strong part of my working life and a lady I am pleased to call my friend. Courtney and I had so many laughs in a morning with you. I miss feeding the birds and watching the squirrels play in the garden, telling you what there upto. You were a tough egg marji and a true inspiration to many. Sleep tight lovely lady, forever in in my heart xxx

Dear Aunt Marj,
Already annoyed you havn't I? Forget the aunt i'm just Marj you'd say to this young boy.
You bought me my first pair of jeans and a snake belt. You can get as dirty as you like, in these, they're for playing in you said. So i went to a building site and slid down mud hills all afternoon. Arriving back at your flat i remember you and Brenda picking me up under my arms carrying me and plonking me into the bath, telling me you didn't literally mean it, not that i knew what literally meant aged 7
Then 'are cuckoo's called cuckoos cos they say cuckoo i asked and you just laughed on one of our dog walks.
Then when Rossier arrived in the UK who has become my wife for the last 29 years you took her under your wing and she has never forgotten. You'd sit at the table chatting for hours as i did jobs in the garden etc and you'd always find things, whether sweets, cakes and money for Rossier to take home with her and being skint in the early days i asked if you'd order roses for our 1st anniversary. I gave you £25 and thought very generous of me and a £75 bouquet arrived for Rossier.
You survived against the odds a terrible car accident, well no accident as it was a drunk drivers fault and many say Marj is a battle axe so strong, well you where too mild mannered and kind to be a battle axe, you just had great faith and as tough as they come.
I remember moaning about a pain i had. Feeling awful as my pain was nothing you had to endure, you just said, everyone's pain is their own.
Thanking you for the inspiration and being there if we ever needed you or advice. I'd phone and ask you to put your doctor's hat on or just pick your brain about something.
Whenever we go out and see a church Rossier enters and lights a candle for her grandma, Phoebe the Westie and several times this past week a candle lit for Aunty Marj and a kiss with a prayer.

Love from Michael & Rossier.
