Bud, Rick, Donna, Diana, Ken and Gene,
I am so sorry for your loss. I remember being at your house all the time during my childhood. I know how much my mom loved Marlene. We were such a close family growing up. Not to mention living in the same house together in Virginia. Even though we are all scattered and busy with our own lives, all of you will be forever in my heart and my fondest childhood memories. Growing up with all you was such a blessing. I pray you find comfort in knowing your mom is now with my mom. Heaven will never be the same. lol
Love you all, Tami Shoemaker Ricci

My heart goes out to you all at this time... and in the days ahead. She was indeed a great lady, and she will live on in all of you...this I can assure you.
She, and her smile, and her strength...shall shine in each of you.
