In planning the program, it was agreed that I would be the Host and invite each on the children up to talk about their Mom's influence in their lives!!
Daughter Natalie was the 1st to speak and set the tone for the others to follow. Son John declined to speak but was introduced and got a warm welcome!!
Daughter Valerie above and younger brother Tom each took a turn and spoke of Marlene's alway being there when they needed assistance!!
Pastor Jeff Lettow and wife Crystal listing attentively to the kids talk about Marlene!
After the children I invited Marlene up to say Thank You to everone. I first introduced Marlene's Aunt Josephine on the left who will be 100 years old next year!! Marlene took her turn to Thank everone and also expressed how her Faith in Christ had been her source of strengh and wisdom over the years!!
Marlene and her helpers, Charlena, and Natalie are cousin Joel Marchese's chidren. Justin is Tom and Kims son!!
