Marlene and I shared four beautiful grandsons. We exchanged all the wonderful little anecdotes that only loving grandmothers can do. She was the 'switchboard' of the family and a fifth sister to me. I loved her very much and will miss her terribly.

Sending my loving thoughts and prayers for Marlene. It is with tenderness that I recall my years as the "oldest daughter" and official babysitter. I think of you girls often and I pray that each of you are given a sense of peace that your mom is safe.
