To Marlene's Entire Family,
I was so sad to learn of Marlene's illness and now death. She was such a nice person and will be deeply missed. So many years ago we actually road the same school bus and I had the pleasure of working in the beauty shop with her in later life. May God Comfort her family at this sad time.
Sincerely,
