Marlene is a person that I wished lived near me or me near her so we could have coffee or take a walk together. She is salt of the earth. I know my sister felt the same way. She is incredibly thoughtful in all the details that you would hope when you are a traveler. Her place is sparkling clean.

It was an honor to happen to be in Rome for the double-canonization and it was an honor to meet such as lovely person as Marlene.
