    Marc was my friend. I could talk to her about anything and everything and her passing leaves a big hole in my heart.
    She was smart, witty, lots of fun……loyal…..and most of all loving and giving of herself.
    She will always remain a sweet memory as I remember the good times we laughed and sometimes cried together.
    My prayers and thoughts are with Loren and all the family and friends who will miss her too.

    We are so sorry for your loss, Loren and Jeanne. Your mother responded with very kind notes during special events in Blaire and Andrew’s lives and it was clear how much she loved all of you. You are all in our thoughts.

    I worked with Marcelene at Community Outreach as a Vista Volunteer. She was a wonderful, Classy lady with so many talents. She had a beautiful smile and a quick wit that would let you know just how she felt good or bad. I always admired and looked up to her with her faith in God and family. My other Friend and fellow Co worker of Marcelene’s, Marge, met her in the fall and she had Cookies and tea ready for us with a great visit following. She showed us pictures of her family and some keepsakes in her home she was proud of made by her mother. She will be missed by all her knew her and I am truly blessed to have called her a friend. RIP Marcelene.

    Oh Marcelene. I love you so much. And you will be missed dearly. I loved sitting next to you at church. Church will never be the same. Prayers for Loren and family. RIP. You are with your love, Bud. I love you so much.

    Marcelene, Howard and I were shocked to see this news. We just ran into you at Woods recently and had a good conversation. I enjoyed visiting with you at church and trying to get you to stay for Potlucks. I know you are finally without pain, but we will miss you. Our prayers are with Loren and family. Howard and I loved you and know you are enjoying being with Bud.

    I have known Marcelene for as long as I can remember. I don’t remember many Sunday’s at church that I was present without Marcelene sitting in the pew across the aisle. Her beautiful smile was always full of kindness and love for everyone around her. The notes that she would send were always warm and caring. She will be dearly missed. I know that she is now with her Bud. My prayers are with Loren and the whole family. May God bless you all.

    We always loved hearing your stories at church. You were one of the greatest story tellers I have ever met. We also appreciated how thoughtful and caring you were. You will be greatly missed!

    Kaisa, nurkkalintu ja pau,tuntuu tosiaankin, että ei vaan huonekalut jämähdä patÃeilleen:)Leena,ioillk¤ riittää vielä myytävää ja poisheitettävää, olette niin kauan asuneet samassa paikassa:)Me kun olemme muuttolintusten lailla vaihtaneet maisemia, irtotavarat ovat pudonneet kyydistä.Metsämarjoista en enää kerää itse kuin poimurilla puolukoita, niitäkään ei mene vuodessa kuin muutama kilo.Mustikat on ostettu jo muutamana vuotena vakikerääjältä, kiitokset hänelle. Marjat ovat puhtaita ja edullisia.En ajattele olevani laiska, selkä ei vaan kestä. Kaikkea ei tarvitse tehdä ITSE:)
