Marlene was such a great mother and friend. It was always fun playing games with Marlene and our gang of friends in high school. We had so many laughs and good times. Marlene had some great jokes that I hope will keep her loved one’s smiling as they remember her. You will be missed Marlene- God be with Brian, Kristen & all you family as they say goodbye.
