‘You didn't deserve what happened to you': Mourners told woman killed in north Belfast home was devoted mother and grandmother
Marie Green – described as a devoted mother and grandmother – was found dead at her home in the early hours of last Tuesday morning. Her son Lewis Green appeared in court last week charged with her murder. Family and friends gathered as the 71-year-old's coffin left Wrays Funeral Home and passed her Shore Road home, before a service of thanksgiving at Antrim and Newtownabbey Crematorium. During the service, mourners heard how Mrs Green, who was born in north Belfast and attended Lowwood Primary School, was devoted to her family. 'The family cannot thank everyone enough for the invaluable support through this extremely difficult time,' said Stephen Thompson, who led the service. 'Love will sit at the heart [of this service], because love can conquer all things." During the service, Mr Thompson said Mrs Green's husband Ian was unable to attend due to bad health, but said he had 'emphasised he wants the day to be a celebration of Marie, whom he loves so dearly, and he will forever cherish the time they had together.' Mourners also heard how Mrs Green was a devoted employee of NI Trucks in Mallusk, having worked for the company for nearly 30 years as a receptionist – a role in which she was described as 'perfect' due to her love of 'talking to everyone'. 'Marie was a natural mother... doing all the jobs a mother does... she would never complain and had the patience of a saint,' Mr Thompson added. 'Marie was just an amazing granny as she was a mother… always visiting or asking about her grandchildren any chance she could get.' Mr Thompson also read a poem, written by Mrs Green's young granddaughter, which said: 'I love you from the bottom of my heart. We will never be far apart. 'I do not know what else to say, except I love you every single day.' A portion of the song 'Days' by The Kinks was also played, as was 'Dancing Queen' by ABBA. Attendees also heard tributes from Mrs Green's two sons, Adam and Richard, who said their mother's memory lives on through their children. 'You were so selfless and gave everything in life for your family... I will miss your laugh so much; it was just so unique and made us all smile. You didn't deserve what happened to you,' they said. 'From her sisters and childhood friends in the 50s to her grandchildren in present day... she affected all of our lives in such a way that her memory and her essence will always be intertwined with our own lives. 'Objects get broken and lost. So even memories can fail with time. It is the shared connection and love that remain forever. 'Mum, you were loved, you are loved, and you will always be loved.' A death notice said Mrs Green was a 'beloved wife", a 'much loved mum' and 'a loving granny'. It said her death was 'deeply regretted by the entire family circle', adding: 'Marie, you are forever in our hearts.'

Asset Managers Aren't Playing the Dual Share Class Waiting Game
As Tom Petty sang, 'the waiting is the hardest part.' For The Kinks it was, 'So tired, tired of waiting. Tired of waiting for you.' Lou Reed, Cyndi Lauper, and Fugazi have also tackled the subject. Nobody particularly likes waiting. For asset managers waiting for the Securities and Exchange Commission to approve dual share classes, that sentiment seems to apply. Even as the regulator is poised to act, numerous companies have converted mutual funds to ETFs. One of the biggest conversions, announced last week, is turning some heads: Akre Capital Management said its sole mutual fund, the $12 billion Akre Focus Fund, will switch to an ETF this fall, pending shareholder approval. The change will result in more tax efficiency, higher transparency, and lower fees, the company said. The proposed conversion 'is the best route forward for our shareholders,' John O'Bannon, director of the company's institutional fund distribution, said in the announcement. READ ALSO: Trump's Truth Social Files for Bitcoin ETF and Proxy Warfare Last month, JPMorgan disclosed that its $1.2 billion Unconstrained Debt Fund would convert to an ETF, with assets moving in September to the JPMorgan Flexible Debt ETF, the new product. Another firm, Lazard, which added its first ETFs this year and is currently prepping more, converted its International Equity Advantage mutual fund to the Lazard International Dynamic Equity ETF last month. The company is also converting its US Systematic Small Cap Equity Portfolio to an ETF later this year. Some of the other recent ETF conversions: Franklin Templeton announced plans last month to convert 10 municipal bond mutual funds from the Putnam Investments product line it acquired in 2024. Those funds would become ETFs in the fourth quarter of 2025 or first quarter of 2026. Thrivent similarly disclosed its intentions in May to switch its $330 million Core Small Cap Value and $27 million Mid Cap Value funds to ETFs in the fourth quarter of 2025. Waiting Room: Waiting for the SEC's approval of dual share classes might not be a great strategy for all firms, particularly if they don't already have a strong line of ETFs but have been planning for a while to break into that space. And even with the advent of dual share classes, adding a mutual fund or ETF share class may not be easy for all issuers and their distribution partners, as fund investors must have brokerage accounts that allow them to receive shares of whatever vehicle a company moves to. 'There are technology changes that have to occur at the asset manager side and the broker-dealer side to facilitate the ETF share class,' said Craig Kilgallen, relationship manager at Fuse Research Network. 'The broker-dealers need to decide if this is the right way to go. It could create fiduciary issues if someone is in the fund and not the ETF.' This post first appeared on The Daily Upside.
