I am so sorry to hear of your mother's passing. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Take care.
My first memory of Marlene was at Sun Valley more than 35 years ago. She’d be in the gatehouse when it opened and I’d reserve a tennis court for my dad. She was friendly and greeted everyone with a smile. Years later, I’d started dating her oldest son and I had the pleasure of her bountiful home cooked dinner buffets served up in her farm house kitchen. She had a passion for astrology. She’d ask for couples birthdays and times and the next day she’d eagerly present the results of her astrological research. Her enthusiasm was contagious. I remember shopping with her and my mom to find her a dress for my wedding to Micky. She looked beautiful in the flowing, aqua colored gown. We were all proud of the life changing turnaround she made on the day my daughter was born. Inspired, Amanda named her own new baby daughter after Marlene. Marlene babysat daily for our infant son Tom with love as if he was her own. I’ll remember Marlene as open and accepting of everyone she met – someone you could tell anything to. I pray she be at rest now and free from pain.
My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this time. I remember her with a smile on her face always.....
We went to school together and were friends even after graduation. Marlene will be missed but not forgotten. She has been and will be in my prayers.
Love Flora (Everett) Gerber
