Oh my goodness, to say we loved Marlene would be an understatement. Her smile and laugh always lifted our spirits. We will miss her terribly. Mark says "I will love her forever and a day". She was such a treasure, we were blessed to call her a friend.There are few losses more profound than the passing of your mother. Our hearts go out to you in your time of grief and sorrow. I hope you feel her around you daily and are warmed. Blessing to you and yours.
Grandma Lemon is a lovely anomaly in a materialistic and transient culture. She is one of the last of her kind – part of a fading generation that valued people more than things. She read the Bible every day without fail. Always talking about the victory of Christ against sin, death, and Satan, she loves the Lord Jesus and sought His glory on earth – constantly reminding me to do the same. By His grace, she now expresses this testimony perfectly in His presence, having left behind generations of her loved ones with whom she shared God's love. Because of her, many have heard the Gospel – and many more will continue to! She was always cheerful, always encouraging, always answered the phone, always put her family first, always ready to party, always classy, always gentle, always respectful, always hard working, always honest, always kind, always contributing, always generous, always beautiful. Proverbs 31 describes her in all these ways, opening her hand to the poor, reaching out her hand to the needy – almost to her own danger at times. Though a generation removed, she was my most faithful friend.Dearest Grandma, Thank you for including me in all the fun events with all your friends. Thank you for loving me when I was not easy to love. Thank you for caring for me when I was a helpless babe, for the times you fed and bathed and held me. Thank you for loving your young grandchildren despite our attempts to cause cardiac arrest with the 6 & 8 legged creatures we'd share with you. I am sorry I did not value you as much as you are worth when I was younger, but I'm thankful for our increased time together within the last decade. I will miss my thrift store and In-N-Out buddy. I will miss you dazzling my every house party with your joyful smile and delicious fruit bowls. Thank you for always being there and being available and compassionate. The small glimmer of joy I have to know I'll see you soon again is and will be overshadowed by the struggle and pain of your physical absence. I treasure our time together; I treasure the privilege of being your granddaughter. Love always, Steph
Thoughts and prayers to all of you..very fond memories of my high school days with your family. My mom and her are enjoying a great time together now..dancing the night away. I will try to be there for her services. Loved her smile and laughter..
Thank you Sharon for your kind words. She was deeply loved.
Agnes, she loved her time in Brillion for those class reunions! We heard about each and every one. Thank you for your kind words. Mom definitely had a gentle spirit.
Iris, she talked about you so much, thank you so much for your kind words and tribute to our mom!
I am really sorry over the loss of your mother. I know she has not been well for some time, but it still is hard to close the door. We talked frequently about old times and our families. I know how much she thought of all of you. She loved her family with her whole heart as well as our Lord. Church and family were what she lived for. She will always be in our hearts.May Gods loving arms hold you close and bring healing to each and everyone of you. God be with you all. Love, Edie

I'm so sorry to hear about your loss – your mom was a wonderful – vibrant – woman, who loved the Lord and her family. My prayers are with you. Sharon Pearce
