Those we love don't go away,
They walk beside us every day,
Unseen, unheard, but always near,
Still loved, still missed and very dear.

Arlene's time here with us was cut to short, but she will always be remember in our hearts. Love Robert, Laurie and Children

I look back with fondness of the time I spent over at her home as a child. One memory that sticks out in my mind is when we made "Pizza Soup" together from a recipe I clipped from my American Girl Magazine.
Time spent over there was always enjoyed. Arlene will be deeply missed by me and my family.

I'm saddened to hear of the passing of Arlene. We graduated together from Dobie High School in 1971, and I was fortunate to call her my friend during those school years. She was one of the brightest students in our class. Rest in peace, my friend.
