To: The Dungee and Brown Families
In this time of grief I pray that you will find comfort in your memories. My memory of Marlene goes back to 1957, when we were first grade classmates and best friends. I think that we joined church at the same time, and song in the Youth Choir at Second Mt. Olive Baptist. I remember Marlene always being excited about singing praises for the Lord. Marlene was one of the lead vocalist, my favorite song that I remember her singing was "We Are Soldier In The Army". She was truely one of God's soldiers. Marlene fought a good fight, and I believe that she had her hands on the gospel plow. I know that we wanted here to stay here and fight anyhow, but God knew that it was time for her to rest.
Rest In Peace My Friend!

Our prayers are with all of you on the passing of a beautiful person, Marlene. I will always remember when I was in first grade, I had to sit beside Marlene everyday on the bus. The day someone had taken my seat, I cried. Marlene always had a kind word and a smile for me whenever I saw her. She will surely be missed.
