I am very sorry to hear of Ms Marley’s passing. I got to know her through check in at the front desk of her doctor’s office. She was always gracious and patient for our help. Her absence will be felt. God bless your family.
My heart breaks as we say goodbye to Belinda, my very special friend of 40 years.
She was one of the strongest women I have ever known.
My life is richer because I spent so much of it with her.
My travel buddy, confidant and best friend.
Love her so much
I met Belinda in 2002 when she took a chance on hiring me as a tropical plant technician. I am so very grateful that she trusted me to work for her, and she taught me so much about plants. It has been a passion of mine ever since.
I will always remember Belinda with love, and as the person who showed me the joy and peace that comes from growing and nurturing plants as well as people. May she rest in peace and love, and finally get to see her daughter again.
Belinda left an impression on every one who was lucky enough to meet her or cross paths with her. She was larger than life itself she was positive in herself and her business her smile could warm the hardest of hearts and she wasn’t afraid to say anything she felt especially if she loved you she wouldn’t hold anything back always the truth always faithful and always there for a friend even when she was in so much pain she would always worry about everyone else. I was fortunate enough to have her as a BFF for over 45 years. My heart aches because I wasn’t ready to say good bye. But I know your in heaven dancing with your baby girl Holly and my best friend your sister TJ. I miss you more than words can say. But I will see you when I get to heaven our home for eternity
Lover you always
Bobbie

I will always remember her as a very lively and loving person.
Belinda taught me everything I needed to know regarding life and living. I was blessed to be with holly as she left . I know she is with her, tj, Bruce, Brandon, and the rest if her family. I will always have these amazing friends from working with her. I will bl always be in constant contact. Thank you for all who came. She will be missed hourly . I miss my daily calls with her. Rest in peace B!
Belinda was a member of a group of Mothers who, like her, lost their only child. The group is called e-Angels and has members all over the U.S. She and I had a strong bond and talked often about how her Holly and my Shannon were certainly in Heaven together. Belinda came to visit me several times in Florida and it was so wonderful being with her. I admired her so for her strength and loving manner. B, I will miss you and I know you are now with Holly. Rest in peace my special friend. Give our Angel children lots of hugs and kisses.
My deepest sympathies
Belinda was a wonderful mother. I knew Holly a life time ago. I remember Belinda driving us to Mission mall (that tells you how long ago) to get her nails done. The remake of “Come on Ilene” by Save Ferris was playing on the radio, and Belinda was rocking out up front driving (so safely with her legs crossed in the seat 🙂 ). After Belinda got her nails done, she bought Holly and me some pretzel bytes from (I think it was) a Wetzel Pretzel in Mission mall. Belinda was always so kind. I knew her and Holly back when I was like 14 and 15. She was such a cool person, and a free spirit.
