I was shocked beyond words to hear of Marie's husband Kens passing
Many Years ago I began following her generous donations of dresses to other cruise ladies on Cruise Critic FSHION and BEAUTY All her good work was very impressive. I read about her nasty accident when she fell and broke both her feet and had to cancel her cruise on the "Queen Victoria " world cruise ?? I believe it was . A few yeas later
My husband and i decided to visit our Family out in Australia in 2013 I think it was . Flying out from our home in England to spend 4 weeks in Perth. AS a special treat we booked our journey home on the QUEEN MARY , Who was on her World cruise. WE would be doing the second half of the world cruise from Freemantle back to Southampton 31 days.
Imagine my utter delight when I read Maries post on here that she and Ken would be on the same cruise. And not only that They were to get Married on the ship I think it was March 27th . We boarded on the 25th..March.'
I was a t the entrance to the wedding venue room when Marie arrived on the arm of the Scarlett clad QM2 Paige/
She looked amazing. We of course could not view the wedding . But after knowing of her for a number of year s , ' it made my holiday complete. Of course she had no idea who I was. and I had a quick word with her a few days later in the Breakfast Buffet and she was very gracious, I guess she struggled to understand my strong Yorkshire accent.
i can only say how sorry I am for her Loss and that al so of her Parents.
I also lost my husband in 2020 after a long illness He was 83.
