Marlene was Ann’s niece. Ann is 95 years old and lives in Michigan. Before her passing, Marlene made an effort to send her Aunty Ann card and a note every week and it meant so much. They were able to speak occasionally and it lifted both of their spirits. I have only known Marlene indirectly, but found her to be thoughtful and loving.
This large family has lost touch with each other through the generations. If any of you see this please know that Aunty Ann is well but suffering from some dementia. She works hard to recognize you and make connections to who you belong to and how you are related. It seems as we age we circle round to the begining. She grieves for all that is lost in the family relationships and celebrates the connections between you. She prays for her family and longs to see see forgiveness and grace touch each of your hearts …as a giver and a receiver. May God bless you and all the generations of this family.
May God receive Marlene into his loving arms and grant her peace.
(Mary Fullenwider, a neighbor and friend.)

Marlene was my long lost cousin of several years ago. Somehow she found my dad, Steve Orr and subsequently found my brothers David, Bob and myself. We live in Georgia which made our visits a trip. She and Jim would visit my parents and when my dad was ill at the VA in Lake City, they came to see him prior to his death. Marlene and David kept up correspondence and calls prior to his illness and death. When David would visit with us fro California, we always met Jim and Marlene for lunch. After Jim died, she would keep in touch and sometimes meet us for lunch in St Augustine.
Marlene was always very kind to us and came to stay a short while for a visit.
She did not openly share much but she did say she never spoke with her children. I share this now to say what a shame that forgiveness did not seem to be in the Oreskovic family. I did not grow up near any of my cousins so did not get to know them at all until late in life. Whenever visiting my dad’s family (the Oreskovics)as a small child, there seemed to always be a lot of anger displayed. It is my hope that if any of the family sees this
note, theycan finally have closure and begin to heal. There is too much love for all of us that can win over any hurt. It is my prayer that Marlene is at peace with her Lord Jesus Christ. I will miss our notes, calls and visits. Susan Ring, cousin
