Arlene Redstone Kremkau

I have a new e-mail address, as my husband and I have relocated to Omaha, Nebraska. Patricia LeSieur, Arlene's daughter.

I met Arlene some 36 years ago when we were working at the same place in Orlando. I was 14 years younger than Arlene and she helped me through some rough times when I was young, scared and raising 3 children on my own.

My condolences to Pat and Ron; Allan and Karen; and John, Rebecca and Sarah.

On behalf of OUC and all of Arlene's friends, we wish to extend our deepest sympathies. You and Your Family are in our Thoughts and Prayers.

It was to be holding my mother's hand, kissing her on the cheek and whispering in her ear how much I love her as she took her last breath of life on this earth and entered into the arms of Jesus! I helped take...
