Praying for your peace as you grieve the loss of your Mom. My mom Alice Jane Daniels (died 7/31/2007) was a good friend. You have been blessed to have her in your lives for so many years.

During my years as pastor of St. Paul Arlene was a lady who knew her mind and stepped up to put it into practice. A lady with a mission each and every day! Msgr. Louis Stasker

We met Arlene and Douglas in Somerset, Ky while they were visiting her daughter Kathy and Family. Arlene was such a treat to be around. She sent us the sweetest Christmas cards and always with a handwritten note. We will miss those and we will miss all the wonderful times we went to Mass together. Rest peacefully in the arms of Jesus, Arlene.

Arlene was such a joy to be around! The above picture with her, Bruce, and myself was taken at her residence in GR in 10/2022 and was our last visit.

What a blessing to have been able to visit Arlene and Kathy when Bruce and I were in GR, MI in 10/2022! She was always such a joy to be around, and oh how my parents, Bob and Peg Yeiter, loved to visit or correspond either by letter or phone with her and Doug (Dad and Doug were cousins)! They loved to get her (and his) cards and letters as I did too! Now they are all together in the company of our Heavenly Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, and awaiting the day that we can all be joined again...
