Marlene will be sorely missed at the CAP. She was a genuine, wonderful person who had a beautiful smile, a healthy sense of humor, and a kind word and a listening ear for a friend. My deepest sympathy goes out to her family whom she loved so deeply. She is now at rest in God's arms.

May God watch over Marlene and her family. I work with Michelle and she spoke often about Marlene. When she spoke of her it was always with a smile on her face and love in her voice. What a wonderful person she must have been. My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Keep The Faith. XO, Denise

Such a dear, sweet woman, and someone I enjoyed working with at the CAP. Peace and love to her family - so sorry for your loss.

June 9, 2016

I miss coming to the office everyday to hear Marlene's "Good Morning, how are you today?". I have only known Marlene for about 3 years, but it was apparent from the beginning how much she loved and was loved by her family. She was particularly proud of the babies of the family, sharing pictures often. She is sorely missed. God Speed, Marlene. While those who care for you are broken hearted, you now have the wings of an angel.

I loved Marlene dearly. She was a beautiful, wonderful, thoughtful person. I am glad to be able to have called her my friend. She always had a nice word to me or a hug. I have missed her since she left our workplace. God Bless her family of which she was very proud, particularly her nephews. Denise Driscoll
