Marleen Marino Her daughter Sherrie sent this our Friday November 14, 2008: I am so sorry to tell you...I don't even have the words...my mother passed away last night. She would have wanted me to tell you because she loved you all so much. She would have wanted everyone to come together...everyone to celebrate her life. She has done so much for this industry...so much for my whole family...I don't know how to start a day without her. I hope you will all understand if there is a time where the Network is down for a while...I don't know the time or the date of the funeral...when I do I'll let everyone know. I know you love her very much....like we do...so nothing more now. God bless you all at these times. Keep close to your loved ones...you never know when the last time will come and you say I love you for the last time..... Remember to be kind. If you need me...I'm there.
