Carolyn and Diane, As you both know Mardene was like a second mom to me and Consie. We loved her so much. Mother loved her as a best friend and sister. Now they are together with Frank and EC and daddy celebrating. This is such a hard time for you both as I well know but just remember she is with our Lord whom she so loved and all her family and friends. We love you both and are praying for you.

Mardine was a dedicated Christian woman. I had the privilege of being her Pastor for 4 years. She was always supportive and put the ministry of Christ first in her life. I'm sure God has a special place for her in heaven.
