Thank you Arlene for sharing a wonderful childhood together with me. Arlene was like a sister to me, and a best friend for 75 years. God needed her to fill the empty spot in the family circle in heaven. Time to rest Arlene.
Love you, Lil and Bob

Grandma was the most loving person I have ever met. She always had others in mind, even her constant refilling of the chip bowl and cheese and cracker supply showed how much she cared. I was blessed to have met her and have her in my life. She will be missed but never forgotten.
Love you Grandma,
Emily

Arlene, our Friday nights will not be the same without you. Your place at the table will always be open. Your words "I don't have much but I'll raise ten cents." would make us all drop out. You were so much fun to be with. We looked forward to seeing you every week and catch up on your family events. Our little group is the highlight of my week. I will miss you so much. Thank you for being my true and special friend. I love you....Bettylou
