After so many years, I still remember Marlene and think of her at times. She was my roommate at Virginia Mason Hospital back in October 1965, where we delivered our babies. She had a boy and I had a girl. We had a great time being roomies with so many things in common, and great conversations, along with some funny things to laugh at. Our obstetricians were out of the same office. I think she had Dr. Banks. God bless her gentle soul and hold her in his hands forever. I hope to see her again someday on the other side.

Marlene was my great aunt on my father's side. Although once tragedy struck my uncle Buck back in 1996, we lost touch. I have many fond memories of her as a child. Family reunions, Holidays, ect. When my Great Grandmother petti-poo died when I was about 10 years old, she gave me a gold angel pin that her, my grandmother and my great grandmother all had and told me "I think that you should have this so that you know she is always looking over you." I still have that pin, locked up tight for safe keeping because it means more to me than anything. I now know that their are now 2 angels watching over me and that pin has assumed a whole new meaning. My aunt Marlene was a wonderful and caring person and I hope that her and my Uncle Buck have found each other in Heaven.

Marlene was my roommate in the hospital when Glen was born in October 1965. We did alot of "yacking" and found we really enjoyed each others company while rooming together at VMH. We laughed thinking maybe one day it could happen that Glen and my daughter, who were "roomies" in the nursery could meet. I've often thought about Marlene and wondered where and how she was. Small world. To her family, our deepest condolences. She was a very fine lady with a great personality. May your memories of her bring you much comfort and peace through the years.

To the family of Marlene,



I am so sorry to hear of Marlene's passing. When I would get over-loaded with typing, she would grab a stack and help me out. 28 years ago, she bought me a 'cotton-candy' rhodie for a house warming gift. When we moved, we brought along the plant...which is now over 15 feet high. I never fail to think of Marlene when the blooms cover the plant.



Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time.
