Marguerite was the best friend I ever had and I have missed her more than I could have imagined. She was always kind, generous to a fault and was so funny.

Once the two of us tap-danced down the steps at Phipps Plaza (where nobody was watching) and I shared more adventures with her that kept both of us laughing and enjoying ourselves.

I will never forget her or her family.

Hello my name is Tina. My sister Selida took care of Ms Margurite. She would always talk about how pretty her smile was. I pray that God bless and strengthen the Marlow family. I pray that God keep you during the coming days, his grace and love is sufficient.

Mrs Marlow was the nicest lady. I grew up on Gunstock Drive and I would always go over to the Marlow's house with my mom and she would show us these crazy things that would grow in her backyard. I think they were really long gourds
My prayers are with the Marlow family

I remember her beautiful daylilies she grew in her garden. They reminded me of her. The vivid colors and her love for them. God protect and guide you all always. Psalms 121
