Dear Jim, Courtney, and Lindsay,
We are so very sorry for your loss. Can only imagine how much you will miss Marlene. She was a very special person. Loved her smile and laugh.

Marlene was one of our favorite clients. The burgundy color she loved, we never forgot it and of course it was stunning on her. We wanted her to feel cared for and loved when she walked in with her husband. She never failed to put smiles on our faces. We will never forget her. Praying for the Bakan family.

Jim: Please know that you and your girls are in our thoughts and prayers at this difficult time. Losing a loved one is so painful, but often a blessing that's impossible to understand. Hopefully faith that she’s in a better place will help you through. When memories are what you have left - just hold onto the good ones. Our deepest sympathies.

I went to college with Marlene and loved her infectious laugh. It was great to connect with her a few years ago when some of our college housemates realized we were all getting older. To her family, I want to express my deepest sympathy on their loss.
