Dear Anita and Family,
I am so sorry about the loss of your wonderful and loving Mother.I never thought I would miss her as much as I do. Every morning when I leave for work I still look for her on the front porch so I could wave to her just like we always did. I'll never forget either when I was sick over X-Mas and home alone and everyday Mom would call me or come over to make sure I was OK. She was such a special Woman. She always put others 1st. I hope she knows`how much she was loved and will be missed. I know in my heart that she is still watching over us because that is what she always did and will always do.. My Deepest Sympathy..

My sympathies and prayers to all of you. Unfortunately, Arlene was the only sibling of my Dad's that I never met. Being so far away in Massachusetts, it just never happened. My sister Janette, my brothers; Rich and Jim, and me send our sympathies and prayers to our cousins and extended family. I am sorry for your loss.

Sorry to hear about your Mom's passing. I really enjoyed talking to her when she went out to hear Black Hills.You can usually tell how good a person is by the way their kids turned out. And her kids are all very nice and I'm glad I got to know Arlene and her wonderful family.

Dear Anita and family,
May God help you and your family find some peace in this time of sorrow.
She was such a wonderful person that put everyone else first, and would do anything for you when you needed it whether you ask or not. One could only wish to have the strength and courage and compassion that she had shown me everyday. She showed me the way to deal with all lifes hardships that came my way.I was very blessed to have known her and she will forever be in my heart. She will be greatly missed. My prayers and thoughts are with you all in this time of such great sorrow.

I am sorry for your loss. Arlene was the best. I had the pleasure of working with her & Sheila for a few years @ IZOD. She was like a Mom. She would give you advise whether you asked for it or not & would just lend an ear when needed. She will be missed dearly.
