Dear Danny, Jennifer and Family, Words cannot express how sorry I am about Marlene. She was a dear friend, excellent co-worker and one of the finest women I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. She will be greatly missed by myself and her Hurffville Family. Earth has lost and Heaven has gained another Angel.

I just wanted to express how sorry I am for your family. Marlene was such a beautiful, caring , woman. I will never forget how she would always ask not a day would go by how my daughter was doing my daughter was diagnosed with leukemia in 2006. May God bless you and your family. Daria Lane.

I worked with Marlene at Hurffville. Her bright and friendly greetings in the hallways always brightened my days. I will miss her very much. I pray that your memories of Marlene, which are probably sad now, will bring you joy later as you hold her in your hearts.

Dear Danny and Jennifer, Your mother was a beautiful and strong woman. I admired her for all that she was, patient, dedicated to our school, kind to children and never complained or gave up. God bless you both. What a gift we have had in knowing and loving your mother. Prayers for you and your family, Joanne
