I was shocked and truly saddened to read of Arlene's death. I was instantlly reminded of those wonderful days of our emerging adulthood...the days of Mt. Vernon Cooperative and eventually Workingman's Cooperative. We had such fun with Donna Dornfeld, Chrystal Miller, Debrorah Cox and the whole crew. How lucky we were to have each other, to attend each others weddings and to wish each other well as we stepped from youth into adulthood.

Although we lost touch as we got involved with our growing family resopncibilities, I will always treasure those days of innocence
and happiness. In my wedding album, I have a picture of Arlene with her hands outstretched to catch the bouquet. She is full of innocence and hope. She was so full of love for you and excitement about the future you would have together.

Take care of yourself George, and your family. Arlene will be both remembered and truly missed.

Arlene came to a Christmas party at my house many years ago when things were better. I remember how pleasant she was. She is in a better place. I pray that you all remember the better days and cherish her memory at this sad time. May God bless you all.
