Well here we go!! That life I was telling you I was trying to put together. The bottom falling out of it already. Again I don't know what I'mma do with myself from here on in. It's just hopeless! This is why I need you so you could tell me what to do with myself. I love you and I miss you and I can't wait to get back with you just for the guidance you gave me alone.

Darlene

November 24, 2016

Oh my GOD today was so horrible. Mark trying to go crazy again over the computer. I watch Hogan everything. That was one of the last things you watched on TV. I love you and I miss you so much. Can't wait to be with you again I know it'll be much better this time.

November 22, 2016

Oh Lord!!! I don't know what I am going to do for the holidays forward. I will never have decent holiday meal again it's slop from here on. My world and my situation has changed drastically. Love you miss you so much. I hope to see you so soon.

Darlene

November 21, 2016

Another day of dreary & despair. I will never get over the Hopelessness I feel. I can only hope and the two projects I have going and he will release me from this earthly the bondage. So that I can be be united with you. I'm so tired of just knowing the people that I know. The only thing I have to look forward to in this life is I will see you in the next. I love you. I will miss you always. I sure hope we could be together soon. Because these last two years have been one long nightmare to me.

I'm going to try to etetch out a life, but I feel I'm being defeated at every turn, still can't see how I'm going to keep doing this, it's not one minute or second of the day I don't think about you and I'm always having palpitations in my sleep because I'ma awake up and you're not going to be there. We lost a lot of people. I After Tweets died Mason died. Did Betty Ann had the sleeve done the first week of January by February she was dead. Did not Adeline died in December either the week of Christmas or the week of New Year's because she was buried the week end of New Year's. Oh and Hubert would die too. Still don't see how I'm gonna make it without you. I love you and I miss you so much.

I hope this lil boy is my last patient. I'm so tired. I swear before GOD I wish I could trade places with you. You knew how o live here I do not. I just want to be where you are or where ever you went. I pray everyday all day that we could be together SOON. I love you so much!! I don't know what to do next? Help me if you can please.

Felton went to put flowers. Love you so much, can't wait to see you again. It's not 1 day I don't thing about it. I'm NEVER gonna get over this. Been trying for a year, it's IMPOSSIBLE. It's killing me ever so softly. With ALL the people in the world I'm STILL so lonely. I dream about you EVERY night. I love you so much.

I am more than sad over the lost of a great women of GOD. Marlene was very kind to everyone. She never met a stranger that she didn't extend her loving kind generous hand to. Marlene was more than a client, she was my friend. I remember our trip to New York, New Jersey and Atlantic City. We had a blast. Marlene will be greatly missed.

Marlene was a great , well educated,soft spoken nurse.She will be remembered for ability to teach, find conclusions to nursing .lots of nurses go to school and become good to average. Marlene superseded in all categories of nursing with untouchable abilities . It was a blessing to know such a caring , loving , patient person who gave 100 % to others. Marlene will forever be missed. The nursing world has lost a legend indeed.rest in peace my friend , my sister for now until we meet again.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23. Marlene set an exemplifying example of this verse. She kept God in her life from state to state seeking churches who spiritually fed her religious needs. Rest in peace my friend. Gone but will never be forgotten.
