She was so bubbly and bright. May she illuminate heaven. I have many fond memories of Marlene when Gloria( may her soul rest in peace) was alive and we spent happy occassions together with Larry and Gloria. She made me some lovely floral arrangements for my home. Her smile will be missed by one and all. May the God of Zion comfort you in your hour if sorrow. Love
