Arlene was a special person who overcame a number of unexpected and challenging turns in life to bring tremendous energy to those around her. Always youthful in her outlook, she brought great conversation and wisdom to relationships. I'll always remember the times we spent together during 'get togethers' for dinner in Pikesville. Her light may be gone from this world, but she will always live in my thoughts/memories.
