What can I possibly say about my sweet sister, Marlene. She didn’t have a mean bone in her body & only wanted to be nice & friendly to everyone she met and dancing, holy cow did she love to dance! You know the phrase “dance like no one’s watching”, Marlene danced like EVERYONE was watching & she loved it. We should all be that way.
Marianne, Jason and I are keeping you and your family in our prayers. I’m sure Marlene is smiling down on you from Heaven with Miss Coffee Crisp by her side.
You all are in our thoughts and prayers.
Love, Sandy and David
Though we are in AZ, our hearts and prayers are with the family. Marlene’s smile is now never ending.
You were the sweetest, most gentle person and I’ve missed you so much over the last few years as you slipped farther and farther away. I’m trying to get my subconscious mind to understand what I know, you are free now and your perfect, eternal life has begun. I’ll always keep your memory alive because we have so many wonderful, funny memories that we love to share.
