Lighting a candle in celebration of Marlene Toews. As a sister in law I felt priviledged to spend a lot of time with the Alvin Toews family. My mother and sister Alice lived across from Alvin and Marlene's family farm so crossed that road many many times.
There was lots of laughter around the wiener roast fire, around the kitchen table drinking Tim's coffee. The pleasure of the landscaping Marlene worked at over the years. Flowers, flowers, flowers! I assumed she would always be there. Which she is in spirit. I felt her presence at the farm as I spent time with the family the day she died. I felt it again a few days later while spending time at the farm. She has left an incredible legacy in her children and their children.

Hi...my name is Erna Sobering....my condolences to Alvin Toews an family...in the loss of a wife,mother and a grandmother Marlene Toews. Had the opportunity to work with Marlene at Derksen Printers....she was always a pleasure to be with and had many memorable conversations.
I have precious memories of Marlene from our student days at Landmark Collegiate. After that we lost touch with each other as we went on separate paths of life However, I was looking forward to meeting her again this coming fall to catch up on things but sadly that can't happen now.. My prayers and sympathies go out to her husband, children. grandchildren, siblings and friends. May you all find comfort in knowing that even as we part here on earth, we can look forward to meeting again in Heaven where we will never be parted again!
Dear Alvin and family..... so sorry for your loss....
We can't imagine ther empty spot Marlene has left...
The obituary is beautiful. Marlene left sunshine wherever she went. Even though our paths seldom crossed anymore her life is a beautiful memory. Praying God will be near.
Love to you all, Arden and Monica Dueck
