With a heavy heart and deep appreciation for Marlene Gardner, my dear friend and colleague, I share that she passed away this week.
Marlene was one of the most beautiful soulsβan incredible supporter of Project beamON, as well as so many other local Richmond Hill community endeavours.
She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother, friend, entrepreneur, and a pillar of strength. Her warmth, generosity, and unwavering support touched us all.
While it is deeply hard to say goodbye, Marlene leaves us a legacy of love and community that will continue to guide us.
Personally, her passing adds to my unwavering momentum to continue living a life of purpose, filled with love for my family, friends, charitable and business endeavours.
Hereβs a beautiful picture of Marlene and her magical smile at a beamON Gala. My heartfelt blessings to you and your family. π
