Marleen I will always remember you. You gave my brother happiness and love and I will always remember you for that. I will miss the times we had together. You loved throwing get togethers and cooking for people; I will miss those times.
Marleen I will never forget the last day I saw you alive, you and Gary and Krissy came over to show your support for Rachel. When you left you hugged me and I Love You Guys, and I told you I loved you too. Those words will always stay in my heart.
Marleen I promise you that Krissy and Justin and your wonderful Grandchildren will be taken care of and will always be a part of our family.
Kristen and Justin, if you ever need anything let me know.
Gary you are my brother and I love you very much, my heart is with you always.
