Marlene was a special person, always with a smile on her face. She will be sorely missed.

There are no words to express how much you will be missed. Family gatherings will have a huge void. Watching the Oilers play your Black Hawks will not have the same experience as I won't be getting your gloating texts! You inspired me to how to live and enjoy life. The one consolation I cling to now is that you and Ruthie lived out your bucket list and who could ask for more. I love you and will miss you forever.
