Aunty Marion, I will miss you greatly, but I know you will be at peace now. You are with Uncle Ron and your sister (my Mum) I know Mum will be very happy to see you. Gillian as well. In my childhood days, I loved coming to see on holidays in Auckland. You were always so happy to see Mum and I just loved your cooking. You also had a great sense of humor. I am so sorry I can't be there today. My thoughts are with you Neil and Craig and family.

Marion you were the most caring mother, mother-in-law and Nana Turner. You will be always remembered and forever missed. Our thoughts are with you RIP. Karen and Phil.

Good memories are one way we cope with the loss of someone we love. We have plenty of them too. Often a simple photo can stimulate a great memory. We also have many stored away in our heads, for example I remember when we were kids Dad, Mum, Uncle Ron & Auntie Marion would load up their cars (who can forget Uncle Ron's white Ford Falcon station wagon) and we would go to either Cockle Bay or Browns Bay for a picnic for the day. Auntie Marion's baking was the best food on the planet. They did it all just for us kids. Another way we cope is by understanding the condition of the dead as described by our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ himself in the Bible book of John 11:11-14 where he compared to death to sleeping. Those asleep in death know no pain or suffering. They do not go anywhere but are simply in a deep sleep, and in God's perfect memory. If anyone wants to learn of the third thing that helps us with loss (including what helps me with losing my wife 6 years ago) can contact me personally. Steve has both my Viber and Gmail. love you all, Neil and Craig wish i could hug you, much love laurie
