HaPPy BiRtHDaY MaRLenE!!

Tim's Mom's birthday is tomorrow

This picture was taken on the last day
 Tim's mom was in our house
I remember that day
A perfect day that almost didn't happen

Tim's mom had been in a Nursing home for a couple of years
But we'd take her out for outings

At Christmas 2009 our gift to Marlene (Tim's mom)
Was a dinner at our house with anyone she wanted
We'd send out the invitations, we'd serve

She invited 2 couples - her best friends

9 months later
Schedules matched, nice weather
Dinner at our house on a Monday evening
The Lewellen's and McCann's
Lee and Marlene

Beautiful Day
Drinks and appetizers on the deck
Dinner and desert and friends and stories in the dining room
It was so much fun

Marlene got sick two days later
she never recovered
and died about six weeks later

We miss Marlene a lot
But we love and hold onto
 that last great memory

Happy Birthday Marlene
She'd be 79 tomorrow
