For my dear Marjorie, affectionately known to our circle of friends as Maje, These last few weeks have been difficult as I grapple with the absence of your voice over the telephone or the smile on your face whenever we met. The tears I cried when I received the news that you were no longer with us is still so fresh, and the sting of your loss remains still. I met Maje when we were young ladies in Jamaica. Our relationship blossomed quickly since we worked together everyday, as cashiers at the Old Bargain House in Mandeville. We worked together, laughed together, and cried together. When we both immigrated to Canada, our friendship endured the journey, and we remained bonded for more than fifty years. We shared things girlfriends often do, and encouraged each other through some of life’s rough patches, but what I valued most was how honest we could be with each other. A few days before Maje was hospitalized, she called to tell me she was not feeling well. When I asked how I could help, she requested that I bring her fresh strawberries. I could not have imagined that would be the last time I saw my friend, that this day would be our last goodbye. If I had the opportunity to share my thoughts and feelings with you now, I would tell you what I regret most in this moment, is how Covid-19 stole my chance to visit you in the hospital. How I would have wanted to sit by your bedside to comfort and pray with you. My dear friend Maje, I miss you. I will forever honour our years of friendship, and hold tight the memories we created. To Marjorie’s family, please accept sincere condolences from my family, and know that our prayers will be with you during the sad time. To Marjorie’s children specifically, know that your mother was loved and respected by many and her life has left a wonderful impact on those who were privileged to know her. Thank you for allowing me to pay a final tribute to my longest, dearest friend, Maje! Sincerely, Sonia Grange

I want so send my sincere condolences to Sis. Marjorie's family. She was a beloved church sister and a dear friend. She had a big heart and would call two or three times a day to make sure you were okay. I will miss our talks and her encouraging words. Stay strong and take comfort in knowing that she made her refuge in the Lord.
