She was such a dear friend to my mother. She was such a fun lady. Mom missed her dearly when she passed. I will always remember her for being there for my mom and how she made her laugh.

Dear Marlene, Robin & Butch,
So sorry for the loss of your Mom. She is no longer suffering or in pain. She will be missed so much by all that loved her so.
Marlene & Robin, you gave her such great care all the time over the years. She could not have asked for 2 better people to take care of her.
You are all in my thoughts and prayers.
Sincerely,
Cousin Deb
