Hey lil Marlene! What you up to girl? Well, I can just imagine that you have taken over that little piece of heaven you're in. You always lit a room whenever you walked in. Say hi to Mom and dad when you see them, and always, always know how much you are missed! We love you MIJA!! Your Aunt Sally

Four years have passed and the sadness and sense of an unfinished life may never go away. I still see you in my dreams where you are younger and healthy but in the dreams you're always teasing me mercilessly like hiding my car keys. You'll never be forgotten. Love, Eileen

I can now think of you and smile only because I know you have found such peace and joy wherever your beautiful spirit has taken you.

I think about you all the time, Marlene. Whenever Mom and I are together your presence is always felt. I hope you are finally at peace. You left us so quickly without a chance to fight for your life. I wish we had had more time. Isn't that what it all comes down to? At the end all I could do for you was sit by your bedside and hold your hand and talk to you. I hope you knew I was there. It was the first time in my life I had seen you so quiet and still. And it struck me how beautiful you...
