Seeing Edna's picture makes it seem as if it were only a few years ago that we lived there amidst all of you. I don't know if you remember or not, but Jesse (Edna's husband) and Howard Shortt taught my mother the gospel way back in the late 50's. I remember them being at our home. You are all like family to me and I love you so much. Our prayers are with you and we send our love.

To each of the members of the Marlowe family,
sorry to read about the passing of your beloved mother and grandmother. Truly she was and is an inspiration to all of us who witnessed her love of family, loyalty to her Savior, and the testimony of the restored gospel by a prophet in our time.
May you be blessed with the sure knowledge of the resurrection.
May you find comfort and peace knowing that she is with her loved ones who have gone ahead, and were waiting for her, especially her sweet husband Jesse.
With fond memories,
Elfriede Morrison, El Paso, Texas
