A celebration
On Saturday 20th July 2019 in the village of Huntingfield, Suffolk, more than 110 of Marie’s family and friends from all corners of the world came together to celebrate a life well lived.
Marie Burnett, nee Hawkins
Born 4th December 1949. Died 6th June 2019. In between she lived life to the full, loved and laughed lots and lit up our lives.
Click on scary Marie above for the film and on your invitation at top of this column for your copy of the party brochure.
With grateful thanks to David Burrows
for putting the film together so expertly. And to Nick Allen and others who supplied these photos, plus to Sheila, Esther and Sue for the flowers. Also thanks to all who came to the party, particularly the people of Huntingfield, who were such excellent hosts and to those who came from further afield, who were such delightful guests.
