I am so sorry to hear of your loss. Auntie Marleen was a wonderful person and will be missed. Some of my happiest childhood memories are those spent with her and all of you durring the summer. I am sorry that I was not there for the service, but my sister tells me it was beautiful. Please always know that Marleen will be with you forever.

Hello Neil, Rebecca, Erik and David,

I'm so sad to hear about the loss of your wonderful wife and mother, Marlene. It's been a long time since I've seen her (and all of you) and am very sad I didn't know she was ill. She was such a wonderful, giving person. Always such a warm welcome, no matter how short or long it had been. You know, she's watching over you.

Deepest sympathy to all of you,

Cathie Neve-White

Rebecca and Family:

Although it has been several years since we have been in touch, I was so saddened to see this in the newspaper today. Marlene was a wonderful woman with a terrific sense of humor.Her family always was her pride and joy and I know you will all miss her greatly.My memories of her growing up are things I will never forget like how she always had the right thing to say and was always interested in what was going on in the lives of her daughter's friends. I pray that she is at peace now and hope that your memories of her will comfort you until you are with her again someday.Rebecca, please do not hesitate to contact me if you need anything, I only wish I had known sooner.

With much love and concern,
Brienne R.Neve-Walsh
