Marlene ,my heart is broken but because  we are both women of faith ,I believe  you  are home with Him . I will miss your laughter and your loving  patience. You never had an unkind word about anyone.  You made me laugh so much and that is what I will miss.
You were so funny .I will miss your visits at the church office on Sunday mornings.

Marlene, my dear friend, I have really enjoyed being classmates at Overfelt, neighbors in Vista Park while raising our children, and students at sewing classes.  Most of all, I've enjoyed our best friend relationship and all the lunch and dinners we have shared.  I'm looking forward to being neighbors in Oak Hill someday since we purchased our future home properties nearby each other again
