My condolences, to her family. I was in the Red Hat’s with Marlene, she sure enjoyed it. She had a great sense of humor and always made me laugh. I believe, she is at peace now and her and Chuck are sitting at a bar up there having a beer.Like alot of us , she was never the same after Chuck Passed. I am sure she is making up for lost time, with him.
