Ron, I am so very sorry for your loss. My memories of Marlene go back to my childhood. We were best friends and inseparable all through school. She was indeed a best and true friend. We laughed when she told me you two were getting married and that now we would be cousins. I will always have memories of the beautiful red head that had a kind and loving heart and all the fun we had growing up just houses apart. Please accept my sincerest and heartfelt condolences. I am sorry I will not be able to attend her service but you both will be in my prayers.
