I first met Marion when we were students at Cyncoed College, Cardiff. After our first year teaching, we went on holiday to Austria by bus. We had a great time meeting our fellow travellers. We kept in touch by letters and telephone calls and tried to meet up once a year with a mutual friend, Wendy.
We were due to meet up recently when we heard the sad news of Marion's illness and death.
She was a shining light and was always generous with her friendship. Rest in Peace, Marion and my sincere condolences to John and the family. I will never forget her.
