We could not have asked for a more lovely and gracious neighbor than Marlene. She was always happy to see daughter Annabel, from age 3 to 12, now, and often provided treats. We particularly remember her wonderful 70th birthday party, filled with friends and laughter, and all of the beautiful plants and flowers gracing her home. With love, Annabel, Anne, Sandra Cowden/Howarth
