I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow; I am the diamond glint on snow. I am the sunlight on ripened grain; I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush, I am the swift up-flinging of quiet birds in circling flight. I am the soft star that shines at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry. I am not there. I did not die.” She was a past President of Beta Rho, the Ebell Club and Nightingales in Long Beach, Calif. Marlene was a 17-year resident of Lake Havasu City after years of being a world traveler. She was preceded in death by her beloved sister, Bea; and parents, Inga and Evelyn. Surviving loved ones are her husband, TJ, of 63 years; son, Mark; daughter, Kristin, and her husband, Bill; grandchildren, Jonathan and his wife, Heather, Caroline, Ian, Lauren; and great-grandchild, Owen.
