Today we learned via internet that Marlies passed away. Yesterday we wanted to congratulate her on her birthday.
We are so sad that Marlies is no longer on our earth. We have so many very good memories of Marlies. She was our very best friend with a lot of energy and humor. It was a great pleasure for us to meet her, to hear her on the phone or talk to her.
We wish the whole Kramer family our condolences.
Ina and Manfred from Germany
My family and I send our deepest regards to your family. We are all are so honored to have met such a wonderful woman. I thank her for inviting me into her home, and into her family, God bless you Oma.
Deepest condolences to the Kramer family. I worked with Marlies and her husband when I was a therapist in Valley Mental Health's Therapeutic Foster Homes program. She literally performed "miracles" with some of the most challenging foster children, usually in family groups, that I have ever worked with. Working with Marlies was a partnership. I needed her years of experience, and I needed her special dedication and love to help these children to either return to their homes, or become adopted. I have thought of her often over the years. She had a great influence on my career and on my personal development as a social work mental health clinician! Thank you Marlies.
