MY SYMPATHY TO JOHN, MICHAEL AND JENA. MARLENE WAS A GREAT PERSON WITH A WONDERFUL SENSE OF HUMOR. I REMEMBER OUR FUN AT THE POOL AND ESPECIALLY HER PANIC LOOK WHEN SHE LEFT MICHAEL AND JENA,AS VERY SMALL CHILDREN,IN MY CARE FOR THE EVENING. SHE ALSO PANICKED WHEN WE CUT DOWN A TREE IN YOUR YARD AND IT FELL ON MY JEEP. SHE WAS A WONDERFUL FRIEND AND NEIGHBOR. I THINK OF HER OFTEN WITH FOND MEMORIES.
