I'm so sorry to hear about the lose of mother. I will miss my aunt Marlene and her smile. Her and my mom could pass for twins (they look so much alike!) Just remember to look to the hills from which cometh your help.  Love you always from Gina and the boys.

So sorry to hear about your lose.  I will miss aunt Marlene. Her and my mom could almost pass for twins. (They looked so much alike!) Just remember to look to the hills from which cometh your help. 

Marlene was one of the first person, I met so many years ago. Moving to Rock Island and accepting a job with Rock Island County, Marlene was there to provide a helping hand and a warm welcoming smile.
She was always encouraging and both she and her husband (Rev. Toney) provided my family a place to live.
During those first days on the job, Marlene was always there to provide direction and support. We enjoyed many lunches together and always had a great time laughing and enjoying each other’s company.  
I had the pleasure of hearing and seeing Marlene as she offered many uplifting words to so many people. Even when her health declined, you could still call her and hear her welcoming voice and inspiring words. She was truly a beautiful woman both inside and out. The Quad-Cities and beyond has truly loss a great woman of faith, one who loved her family, her church, and her community. Sending prayers and love to her family and friends.

There are no words that could ever express the sense of longing one feels for the person who carried them inside, gave birth to them, and has transitioned from an earthly to a Heavenly presence.  Our hearts go out to our cousins for having to experience the physical absence of a mother who gave so much of herself for her family.  Auntie will be missed more than she could have ever imagined but she will never be forgotten because her works will continue on in the people she blessed with her words and deeds, and those who blessed others as a result of her ministry of love.  

Our prayers of peace and love are with you always,

My beloved grandmother I’ll never forget the many memories we have like the times you would take us to school and pick us up. The many road trips we took and the laughs and stories to come with. I’ll especially never forget how you always said I’m your doctor and how I was going to take care of you and I did just that granny. Im truly going to miss your smile and hearing you call my name

My Beloved Sister your laughter and wisdom will truly be missed. I love you.  Frannie.
