Dear R.V., Kim and Steve: I was so saddened to hear of Marlene's passing! I cannot say enough good about her! I met her at Holston and then we were together at Higher ground! We would talk on the phone and she was one more Christian lady! She loved her Bible and praying! I always loved seeing her beautiful smile, too. We all will miss her, but, we know where she is! I am sure that Marlene is praising her Master! God be with each of you and comfort your hearts! You have the blessed assurance that you will see Marlene, again! I love each of you!
