Arlene J. Gierke

To Arlene's family we send our sincere condolances. We are former members of Highland Sixth Church and will always remember her smile and genuine happy, caring attitude. Her love for her family and friends is an example for all of us.

I wish to express my sincere condolences on the passing of your mother. I have many a fond memory of visiting your mother while growing up in the neighborhood. We lived nearby on Bishop and I frequently saw your mother as a child while riding bikes or while visiting the duck pond in her backyard. She was always cheerful and friendly so visits were enjoyable. She was a dear friend of my mother, Evelyn Hirsch. In 1996 she came to my wedding shower at Nalepka's home where she quickly also...

To Richard, Liz and girls, Rich your mother, was an inspiration to us all. That smile and her humor drew you to her. She loved life, her family, her friends. She will be sorely missed by everyone that knew her, from her church, her golf league, her community and the women in her group the "Nothing Matters Red Hatters." But she did matter and Heidi has her Grandma with her...may the Lord keep and Bless you all. Helen Marie Wittman.
