Guestbook

  1. Marlene was my great aunt. She loved Elvis and her family. A memory I have of my great aunt is when I was at giant with friends she came around the corner windows down Elvis blasting and we made eye contact laughed and smiled at each other. I’ll forever cherish that moment. As well as the countless family dinners at her wonderful house. Marlene was a great woman.

  2. Brenda and family, I am so sorry for your loss. I will never forget that Marlene helped get my first job. I think she could see how painfully shy I was and decided to help me. That was such a kind act. Im so thankful to her! I admired that she was such a strong independent women. She was a good role model for women ! Love to Brenda and all of the family! Penny

  3. Dear Brenda and family, I worked with your mom for many years in Herndon. Actually I’m still seeing stuff that she did. She’s in God’s hands now after many years of suffering. I remember the Elvis cassettes being played! Prayers for your family.
