Expressions of love, comfort and sympathy to Marlene's family and friends. The Class of '65 was truly blessed to have her as a dear friend! Such a "bright light" with a "quiet loving spirt"; one who stood out among many. Several of us often spoke of her in a caring and loving way. I, for one, am sorry for not taking the opportunity to visit with her these past several years. Marlene was one admired by so many. Rest in peace, Marlene dear friend.
