Our girl was sassy, independent, and absolutely her own creature… except when it came to Madelyn. With her sister, she was a total sook. Gentle, sweet, and soft in a way she saved only for the ones she trusted most.
We’ll miss her playful spark, and especially the way she’d ask for rubs and scratches with that unmistakable “you know what I want” look she had mastered. And we’ll miss her daily missions checking every closed door like a tiny inspector, determined to sneak in, explore, and find just enough trouble to make herself happy.
She was never ashamed of it. If anything, she was proud. Marlee lived on her own terms, loved on her own terms, and let her sweetness show when she decided the moment was right. That was part of her charm, she was unmistakably herself.
Run free Marlee. Thank you for the joy, the mischief, and the love you gave us in your own perfect way. You’ll always be part of our home.
