It's the middle of the night/early a.m. and it is a

sad day for me. A friend of many years has passed away after a long and valiant fight with colon cancer. Marlene and I had worked together for close to two decades, and been friends for that many years. We were both part of a "dinner group", originally there were 8 of us and finally down to the last 3 of us about two years ago when we ceased getting together for that once monthly dinner. We still kept in touch by email and telephone calls and an occasional lunch get together. Marlene, was strong in her faith, strong in her relationship with her family, scattered as they were, and strong in her friendships. She is survived by her dear husband and best friend, John, and four children, seven children and one great-grandson. A lovely lady, full of grace and laughter has gone to rest and has fought her last and most vicious battle. I will miss her and mourn her passing.
Marlene
November 12, 1938 - March 19, 2010
Rest in Peace dear friend.
