Dear Marianne, I am so sorry to hear of your passing. You were an amazing Safeguarding Advisor to me. You always had great advice, made me feel that I was doing my role as best I could. I loved our wee chats during our sessions, you telling me about the time a tree was on the beach and your daddy went down to get the wood. I miss your happy face and your lovely accent, it made me think of my family in the south. You are truly missed. Rest in peace Love and best wishes to your family and friends. I will light a candle in your memory tonight. Xxxx Mary Nee

Dear Marianne My lasting memory of you is as a gentle beautiful and caring person who was loved and valued by everyone around you. You brought energy and laughter to our team and as a fellow Irishwoman -I loved hearing your accent as it reminded me of home. My heart goes out to your family and friends at this sad time.

Dearest Marianne, the world has lost a special and talented soul by your tragic and far too early death. You will never be forgotten by those of us who have had the privilege of knowing you however briefly. My thoughts and love go to all your family and dear ones.
