Spoke to her husband, and a big hug from her lovely mother who I knew well. Didn't go to the reception afterwards just came home. Will be sadly missed. RIP.
Rest in Peace

Thank you, biggins for representing Fmukers at Marjorie's funeral. It must have been very difficult for you given how how recently your husband died. Marjorie is now at rest. Thoughts with her husband and family. Hugs to you, biggins.

Re: Rest in Peace
Thanks McG. It wasn't easy as that was where my husband's funeral was held and I hadn't been there since. Marjorie became a good friend through fmuk and I have known her mother for many years as did my husband. It was a surprise the first time Marjorie brought her mother to a free film and found out who her mother was!McG wrote:Thank you, biggins for representing Fmukers at Marjorie's funeral.

Re: Rest in Peace
Can I add my thanks to you, biggins for sending condolences from us at FMUK at Marjorie's funeral today. That must have been tough for you after all you have been through recently but I am sure it meant everything to Marjorie's family. And you are so right -- what a small world....

Re: Rest in Peace
It must be devastating for Marjorie's mum. It must be awful to lose your children.
Thank you for the update. I pa*d my respects in my own way to coincide with the service.

I actually thought he died a few days ago, I read it earlier this week.
RIP George anyway (again).
fav 5 films of the year - Tenet, Bill n Ted 3, Invisible Man, JoJo Rabbit, ?
Re: Rest in Peace
Don't think so. The article says this:
"Romero died Sunday in his sleep following a “brief but aggressive battle with lung cancer,” according to a statement to The Times provided by his longtime producing partner, Peter Grunwald."
