  5. How appropriate that Aunty Marie passed as the sun rose! Alex shared that with us. Aunty Marie was like the Sunrise she always had a smile and an open heart. My mum Daphne Evelyn Wade was her cousin, and Aunty Marie was a bride's maid at mum and dad's wedding. They were close growing up and Aunty Marie and Uncle Bob and Uncle Ray and Aunty Margaret were wonderful to all of us as we were growing up. We moved to the city when I was 9 and the highlight of the year was the holidays when we could go back and visit our cousins on their farms! We were always welcome and fed and housed with a smile and a hug. Even though we haven't kept up much and I have lived all around Australia and mum interstate - we never stopped loving or being grateful for their care, love and support over the years! Rest well upstairs Aunty Marie you have lived a life that has blessed many and give the others a big hug from us!

  6. Rest in Peace dear Marie.
    Your passing into the welcoming arms of Bob is truly the end of an era for the Drysdale Retirement Village.
    Being both Long term residents and the original Managers, your presence will be remembered. I will remember Marie's kindness to myself and my son, and her ongoing support and care of all those she cherished.

    Much love and condolences to the family.
