Grandma I don't even know were to begin except with I love you so much and I'm going to miss seeing and hearing you. I have so many memories with you and Grandpa. All the trips, and spending the night almost every other weekend at your house playing all the different card games with us kids. You never made anyone feel more speacial then the other and that's why you were one of the best grandma's, mother, wife and friend anyone could ever of wished for. You would let me put make-up on you and we would stay up until 2:00 or even 3:00 in the morning. What grandma does that? My grandma Arnold that's who. I'm so happy your finally with grandpa again, grandma I know he missed you so much and you the same. I can hear him now. It's about time babe. But I'm still being a little selfish and want you back, I want you both back but I'm 33 years old now and know that is impossible. I guess I should be thankful for the 33 years that I got to have with you and all the things we did. I got to see and do alot of things with you and Grandpa.
But I think what I'm going to miss the most is hearing you call me Tina-Ree. It's funny, I remember once I got older and had boyfriends and would bring them around you, you would always call me that and I use to get so embarresed. What I would'nt do now to hear you say that to me again. Or when you would take us up to Lake Erie on the boat and we would stay in a trailer with your friends and play cards, well I was still little so I just watched and learned. That's why I'm the great Eucher player that I'm am today. lol I learned from the best. I hate saying good bye to you Grandma, but I guess we all have to say good bye to the ones we love. And I love you and I'll always remember every precious memory that we shared. Give Grandpa a kiss and I'll see you both again and I love you guys always and forever.
Your grandaughter Tina-Ree

Please accept my deepest sympathies to the family. It is always hard to be left behind, even when we know our beloved has passed beyond the chains of this mortal life to something so great we can scarcely comprehend it.

We loved Grandma with all our hearts and she will be greatly missed. She is now with Grandpa in the great eternity that the good lord prommissed her. The short time that I ( Brandy Arnold) got to spend with Grandma just didn't seem like enough, but I thank God every day for being able to pray with her and spend the precious few hours that were ours alone. I will never forget how she welcomed me into the family and made me feel loved and welcome. Matthew always talks lovingly and fondly of Grandma and can't put his emotions in words. She did so much his whole life for him that he would not know where to start. We will think of her every day. We love her more than words can say. We will continue to be with and there for the family.

Great memories fill our hearts as we think of Wanda. Harold and Wanda had scarlet fever together and Fran even double dated with Wanda. She still is a favorite cousin and good friend. We will all meet again because of Jesus our Savior.

It was always a JOY to play cards and visit with your parents. Last Fall I stopped in to see your Mom and we had fun recalling years gone by when Al and Herm were still with us.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. May the wonderful memories be of comfort and the love of God sustain you.
Sincerely,
Liz Hershberger
