I agree with the previous comments regarding knowing Marlene through the stories of DeMarr, There is no doubt she was a selfless compassionate individual. Demarr, Thanks for sharing the stories of her journey we call life! As we all know your last part of your name came from Marr, which is a great example to Iive up to. I wish I could have known her better in this life. I look forward to meeting her in the next life.

I felt like I knew Marlene through the stories told by her son and my good friend DeMarr. I also had the opportunity to meet her a few times, what a sweet lady, she so loved her husband Don and her Children. This is a great time to celebrate her life. She endured to the end with honor. My prayers are with you. With Love, Robert Green
We love you
