Marlene's business name is in direct reference to letters between her mother and grandmother. Marlene's grandmother was fluent in Ojibway and always conversed in the Ojibway language with her kids. When Marlene's mother, Elsie Kwandibens moved away from home, the only way she could converse with her mother was to "write" ojibway words phonetically in the English alphabet. Elsie kept these letters as momentos and showed them to her kids when they were older. Marlene's awe in the love shared within the letters was instrumental in the development of her business.
