Marlene A. Arends

My deepest sympathy to Henry, Deb and family and Russell and family. My prayers with you at this time, remembering she is now happy and pain free. I will miss her very much. Thank you Debbie for giving me one last chance to talk to her. She will always be in our hearts and minds.
Friends Always Betty

Marlene was my neighbor growing up and the Mom of my best friend Deb. She was a great lady hauling us skating, bowling and to dances. Funny even though we moved away when I was 15, I always remembered her birthday, I guess because it was close to mine and although I haven't seen her in years, she has been in my thoughts every year on March 3rd. Deb and Russell, I am sorry for your loss.

Russ, Lori and family - You are all in my thoughts and prayers at this time. May your family remember all the good times, and treasure those memories, as Marlene will always be around when you "remember when." Those who mean so much to us leaves footprints in our hearts forever.

I was shocked to see Marlene had passed away. She was one of my mom's best friends since childhood.
I know mom welcomed her with open arms when she arrived in heaven.
With sympathy.

Marlene, you will be sadly missed at our reunions. You spent countless hours planning them and every one was better than the last. We all know you are in heaven and free of pain. My thoughts and prayers go to your family,

Our Hearts go out to Hank and the familyat their lost. Marline has been a friend since child hood as we grew up in the same neighbor hood down on South Van Buren. she is now in a far better place and is a complete and new women, God bless this family Our thought are with you.

In My Pocket

I have memories in my pocket.
They rattle among the change.

My memories of you are treasures I carry wherever I go.

They are stored in bits and pieces, parts of a beautiful whole
They give me comfort when I think I am alone.

Yes, I have memories in my pocket, like so much other stuff I keep there.

But of all the treasures I have, it’s the memories of you that are the most precious.

Marlene, it's painful to know that one of the "Magnificent 7" Dahl grandies has left. You've been there my whole life. One of my earliest memories is praying that I'd get freckles - just like you! (Go figure! YIKES...) Now, even though we feel badly left behind on Earth... just think, you're in Heaven - away from all pain - dancing with Jesus Himself - seeing G'pa & G'ma Dahl and all of our special little family who've gone before. You're listening to Heavenly Music - WOW!
Wish I had...

We were saddened to read of Marlene's passing. She and her family will be in our thoughts and prayers. Richard C. & Lynn James
