Marlene was always so nice to me and such a fashion plate! I am sure many of us think the same.

Both Marlene and Eugene were like 2nd parents to me during the summers when I was in college. Marlene opened her home to me and treated me like I was her own child. I loved both Marlene and Eugene Korash as if they were my own. Renee, you and Michael are so blessed to have had such great parents. Thank you, Renee, for sharing them with me!
