I am so sorry for your loss, I will miss Marlene after working with her for the last 14 years. We had a lot of laughs and enjoyed talking about our families together. Marlene was a very special person, she was a good person who cared about everyone. I am so sorry I didn’t get up to visit her, I just wasn’t able to make it but she was in my thoughts and prayers every day as were all of her family. I am positive she is in a much better place and we will all see her again.
