To the Tesch Family, my deepest Sympathies to you all. Marlene was like a second "mom". I remember Marlene, Bonnie, Louise and my mom(Beth) sing in their quartet group. I also remember babysitting for the Tesch grandkids so the adults could go Christmas Caroling. She will be deeply missed. She now can sing with the Choir of Angels. Peace be with you.

To the Tesch Family, my thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Marlene was like another "mom" to me. I remember Marlene, Bonnie, Louise and my mom sing together in their quartet. Also, watching the grandkids while the Tesch family went Christmas caroling. She was a wonderful lady and she will be sadly missed. My prayers are with you.

I remember Marleen at the baptism luncheon she had at there home for Heidi back on Divison St. in Fond du Lac and it was so delicious that I asked her in the kitchen where she found the time to cook such a spread as this. Well much to my surprise she said Oh I just went to Sentry deli and bought most of this and put in in my dishes for the lunch. Wow I thought what a great concept.She was a lovely women. My deepest condolences to the entire family.
