As my cousin Marlene was a part of my life for as long as I can remember. She was one of the strongest women ever. Marlene taught me how to cook many things best of all beef and noodles, she also laughed when I helped her color her hair and it turned mint green. Her family was the most important thing to her. In my view she is now in heaven talking to her loved ones who passed before her.
