Marlene’s Family
We are so sorry to hear of Marlene’s passing. I always enjoyed talking to her at the Downtowner. She was in my mom’s lunch bunch who met at the restaurant every month and they always had a good time. She was such a nice lady.
You are in our thoughts and prayers and we send our deepest condolences.

To Diane, Bob, Susan, my dear sweet friend Connie and Lisa. In times like this it is always difficult to find words. There are so many wonderful memories of your mom and dad in my heart. The nights spent at your home then when we were young. Your dad was such a comic at times and your mother made the best Carmel Corn bar none! We grow up and move on in life but the memories are in our hearts forever. Know that you are all very strongly on my heart and in my prayers as you go through this difficult season of life. Connie I love you my friend, and I am always here for you!

Connie, so sorry to read about your mothers' passing. I didn't know her when I attended Battle Ground but I learned while in rehab what a wonderful caring person she was. We talked about our families in great length and what a joy it was to see her and your fathers' legacy continue through all your extended families as was with my parents'. She loved you all deeply.
