Our loving Marlene has earned her wings…and freedom from her earthly burdens. We have lots of memories from Franklin St in Grand Haven and also Tennessee. Marlene was always smiling and happy go lucky. She loved Miss Coffee Crisp and would sternly correct us when we tried to call her Miss Coffee Cake! She made me laugh and she shared the same life attitude as her twin sister Marianne…..perseverance!!! Marlene touched many lives and will truly be missed!
Marlene, it was a pleasure to know you – we have wonderful memories of you riding your bike, showing your jewelry off, colouring and enjoying your favourite shows. We all need to be a bit more like Marlene and enjoy all the simple pleasures in life. May all the family find peace knowing you are happy and loved with your heavenly kitties and family.
