Although I had not seen Marlene for many years, I will always remember her as the friend I made when Bill and Cliff were in medical school together. She was so nice and had a great sense of humor. Sending my best wishes to Bill and family as you remember her today and always. Barb

I first met Marlene when our husbands were in medical school. She was a wonderful person and I know you will miss her terribly. One fun memory I have is that the two of us went to see "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" when it came out, and I think of her every time it is played on TV. I am so sorry for your loss.
