Dear Gary, and Laura: What a precious woman of Faith has now gone on to her reward. In the Providence and Goodness of God, Arlene served me uniquely and faithfully as a prayer warrior, the time of our first Encounter nearly 40 years ago. She was remarkably intimate with the Lord, a true woman-of-God. I am forever indebted for having known her. Grace to you. Rev. Dr. Paul Dumas, theologian. Cell: 315-542-6193.

Gary,
I'm so sorry for your loss -"Arlene...The Love of Your Life!" I never met her, but felt like I knew her from just listening how you spoke so often about what a beautiful, kind, intelligent, woman of God, wife, friend, and mother she was! YOU ALWAYS PUT HER FIRST, ABOVE YOURSELF! And, You remained a Godly, Faithful and Devoted Husband and Companion to the very end! The two of you had a ‘MAGICAL’ relationship that kept you bonded and in Love.. till death did you part…when she went home to be with Jesus, her Savior and the Lover of her Soul! May God’s Love richly bless you and those she left behind. Please know that you can call on me whenever. I will be here for you!!! I promise! Prayer really does work and I’m open day and night to pray with you about whatever your need is. May God’s inexhaustible Grace and Mercy Cover You Now and Forever…..My Precious Friend in the Lord...Kim Nevares~
