Aunt Marlene, as I fondly knew her, was one of my favorite Aunts. She reminded me so much of my mother, Doris Yenser. Marlene was spunky and didn't mince her words. If she had something to say, she told it like it was. I always looked forward to visiting her whenever I came home. She will be missed by all of us who knew and loved her. I having flowers in my church in NC on Sunday in her memory. Oi can't make it home for her services, but just know my thoughts and prayers are with you all. God Bless..
