Love and prayers to everyone, I was sad when my sister told me the news, she was a great coworker, friend, and fellow graduate of the class of 66, we always had such good times together in high school and later at BCBSMT.

To the Holshue family, I’m so sorry to hear about Marlene. She was a great neighbor and I often went to see what she did with her garden. I had seen her a couple of years ago, always gave me a hug. She will be missed.
