Dear Family,
Time passes so fast. We were first neighbors, then friends and love made us family for well over 54 years.
With a broken heart, but joy knowing, "My Arlene" and "My Sonny" are together forever.
They were one of the most beautiful love stories ever lived and now to be told for generations.
