Ms. Marlene was an incredible woman who always put others and their needs ahead of her own. This is the part of Gods plan that I do not understand. Why he takes those that are so special from us so soon. Why they often have to endure so much pain. I am so sorry for the family. She cared so deeply for all of you. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. I loved Ms. Marlene and I know that she knew that. We could always call on one another and it was as if no time had passed. She was so much more that just a client to me, even though that is how we initially met. Through her grace she impacted my life and thought processes in such a positive way and I am so grateful to have been given the opportunity to have known her on such a personal level. While I am at a loss for words and know that these ramblings can never bring her back, I sincerely hope that as we all swallow this bitter pill, her kindness, thoughtfulness and character continues to live on in all of us that had the opportunity to have known and loved her. She is now resting peacefully and pain free within the hands of God.
