Heartfelt memories growing up so closely knit. Was honoured to reconnect a few years ago only to find i hadn’t outgrown those boyish admirations.
May we find solace in knowing Aunt Marlenes in good hands with our Good Lord, our Good Granny Theresa, Adam, Bernice, Doreen and Dorothy.
We shall forever hold her in prayer.
Love Rick & Katie
