Sheila and family, so sorry to hear about your moms passing. I remember her always having a smile even with all the stuff we pulled in our younger days! I hope you can take comfort in your memories and know how lucky you were to have her in your life for so long.

Dear Sheila and family,
My name is Tami Mannarino. I worked with your Mother at the Jackson Clinic in the urology dept. I was thinking of her just the other day. Wondering how she was doing, enjoying her retirement years. I was sadden to see she had passed. She was an intelligent and hard working woman. I had enormous respect for her! I know you all will miss her and I pass on to you my condolences.
Truly sorry for your loss,
Tami Mannarino

Dear Sheila and David and families, I worked with Marlene at Jackson Clinic and got to know her pretty well. I remember she gave me a decorated cake when I left the clinic and it had little blue booties on it for our son. She also went to Eastside Lutheran Church where I go. We had a prayer for her in church this morning. I think she would have liked that. You kids came and visited us when you were little. Maybe we'll run into you again sometime. I know you will miss your Mom but she is now in heaven and so no more pain. God's blessings to all of you. Ruby West

Dear Sheila, David and families. We love all of you so much and our hearts go out to you now. Two special times to tell you about. One - summers that Karen Carncross and I babysat for the two of you! We had so much fun! Two - I wouldn't allow Jackson Clinic employees to take "certain tests". I ALWAYS demanded that your Mom do them! She always seemed to appreciate that I asked especially for her! She was amazing at her skill! It never hurt when she did it!
May the LOVE of God enfold you ~
May the STRENGTH of God surround you ~
May the PRESENCE of God be with you always.
Hugs, Linda and family

Dear Cousins,
I knew Marlene through my Mom's genealogy work. We first visited at Rebecca's home (her Mom) and shared family history information. Later we met with others at a cemetery where relatives are buried. Marlene and I kept in touch since our mothers have passed. I talked with her this fall and she told me of her illness but I didn't know it had progressed. I sent her a Christmas card and was shocked and saddened to read of her death this week. May the peace of God be with you. Alinda Nelson
