Thank you Uncle Harlod for writing this nice obituary for my mom. Thank you for the responces from Shannon, Brandy, and Judy. It is comfoting to konw that you cared so much for my mother. I too miss her so much especially now during the holidays. I konw that she would want all of us to celebrate and eat some turkey for her... If you have time to see this Mom (We all love you). Alicia wrote you a Christmas letter telling you how we all love you and she hung it on the wall. She asked me to hang it on the wall because she said you could see everything. The wisdom of a three year old, it's amazing.

Auntie Marlene,
I am so blessed to have had you in my life. I am also so proud to have your name as my middle name. I will never hear the sound of a train again, without thinking of our visits to see you. In God's eyes we are all flowers, and it is the most beautiful that he selects to live in his garden in heaven, you in fact I'm sure are his most prized. Thank you for teaching me kindness, love, and what it means to be a mother, giving all to others, no matter what the cost. In Christ, I know I will see you again, until then may my own life honor others as you so graciously did. I love and miss you!

My aunt Marlene (Auntie M)was an amazing woman. Some of my best childhood memories are of spending time with her. She had the kindest, most loving heart, always putting others before herself. Bonnie and Camy, I know that your Mother will always be proud of the women you have become. I love you both so much. Uncle Franz, you are in my thoughts and prayers. I hope that everyone can take some comfort in knowing that she is now at peace and will continue to live on in our hearts.

Sorry to hear of Marlene's passing. She is no longer in pain. I was also surprised to hear of Muriel's passing. She and I had many great times together and we did go into the Army together. We were neighbors, you were on Chestnut and we were on Walnut. God bless you.
