I am so sorry for your loss. I knew Arleda and Jim from the days when our families all went camping at Lincoln Dells. They were very wonderful people and I liked them very much.Time gets away from all of us and never stayed in touch with anyone and now all these wonderful people are gone. Again I am so sorry for your loss.

I will never forget this special lady. The fun that I had with her out dancing until the late late hrs. She certainly lived a very long & active life. I will miss her dearly. I'm sure she'll be up in heaven dancing every night. One day I will be up there dancing right along with her.

To all my fellow family members, I'm sorry for your loss. I remember grandma Arleda smiling back when I was young at all her great grandchildren playing on Christmas eve. I remember her always happy and with such a bright spirit. I remember her singing to Brett's music on Christmas eve and I remember her dancing many many years ago. I'd like to think that she is dancing and singing in heaven to a johnny cash song right now. I'd like for us all to remember her smiling.
