We all have memories of when we were with Aunt Marlene, and upon hearing of her death those memories will always be part of us. While we can't go back we always have those great times to reflect on. God Bless and may she rest in PEACE with Jesus!!

No matter how strong a person is normally, the loss of a loved one, especially a parent, leaves one weak. I pray God will shower you and your family with strength, comfort and memories both today and in the weeks to come.
