Gatherings with Family and Friends
A strong suit of Marlene was her organizational skills but mostly joy in having various family gatherings in our backyard. These were held mostly in summer but many a thanksgiving and Christmas on a smaller scale in the house were also held.
The pictures shown, are but a small sample of these events held throughout the years here in Moncton and in Ontario.
We hear the expression living in the moment quite often these days and during these gatherings Marlene did just that. She literally basked in the warmed and happiness of being surrounded by family.
