    Hi Glenna 🙋🏻‍♀️Sorry to hear of Marlo's passing. She lived a long and beautiful life. She will be missed. I always enjoyed running into Marlo around Kewanee. Our neighborhood was a fun place to grow up in. Sandberg Family via Debbie

    I have many great memories of Marlo and Cookie. The weekend was always fun with them. All the dancing a little drink. I always sent Christmas cards to Marlo to let her know all the new that has happened that year. As far as I can remember this year was my 1st year I missed. They both was so happy when I named my daughter Melanie. I know she will be dancing in heaven. I'm so sorry for your loss. Bless you all. Just a friend and old neighbor Carol (O'Neill) Kilstrom
