Marlena "Sunshine" Big Day

The first time I met her she gave me the speech about not trusting anyone with her children so I needed to make sure I knew where they were at all times. And I assure you, I did. The twins were in my Kindergarten class with the preschool, toddlers and babies. Her and her husband came to the school to visit during nap time. Blankets on the floor and kids all sleeping. However Angel and Angelo were sleeping on a lunch table. Because Angelo didnt want anyone bothering Angel so they chose to sleep on the table. She assumed i was giving them special treatment. She loved me forever after that. Her children, all of them, were amazing kids. We had some struggles with the older girls and Marlin but Kathy Wilkinson had them wrapped around her little finger in no time. Marlena I will never forget the honor of you allowing us to help you, Angel and your kids. You stuck with us through many trials and tribulations. But you fought hard and made the most amazing young adults Ive ever met. It was an honor and a blessing to be a part of your family. Rest in Peace for eternity. Much love and wonderful memories, Jean Peterson
