Condolence From: Dalton Truthwaite
Condolence: I met Marlene in 1986 when I first started to work at The Mississauga Hospital. Without fail, she had a smile every time I saw her at work. Even when those around her made her crazy. Her wit was keen then and remained with her over the years. Marlene retired from the hospital and soon moved northward, however we remained in touch and had many a visit - even as she moved around a bit.

During these years, she remained a good friend and our bond grew. As life threw its curve balls, she was always there to offer sound advice. As a good friend, there were times that I didn't want to hear her advice, but I knew I needed it. Of course she always softened her messages with the comment " remember, what kind of friend would I be to you if I didn't share what I really think. You know it doesn't matter whether you take the advice or not, it is that I speak truthfully, with conviction and integrity. Besides, regardless of what you do or don't do ... I will always love you as my friend." This was the quintessential Marlene and what made her so special.

When I moved to BC, we had fewer in person visits and our connection was largely through emails. However, her emails were like having her in the room. Usually, there as some good laugh had in reading them. She had a way of creating impact through her writing, her listening and her advice. While gone, she will remain with me in spirit.
