So many fond memories of Marlene and Frank living on Duel Street and visiting with my family after they came home from work. Marlene and my Mom talking about food and family. We may not have talked often. But it always made me smile to see her. Love from the Angelety Girls Vanessa, Chris, Sheila, Nina, and Donna
