Not sure what to say?

Thinking of her family a this sad time!

Sending hugs and prayers to all the Smigiel family. I am so sorry for your loss. Rest in Heaven.

You always brightened my day Everytime you came into the diner. You will always be in my heart. You will be dearly missed.

Gayle,
So sad to learn of your Mom's passing. I just saw her a couple of months ago and she was great to talk to. I think she instilled in me the lové of card games. Many a night, we played at your house. She enjoyed life always. Sorry I can't be there, my prayers are with you and your family.

Always loved to see Arlene coming into the Diner. Always had a big hug and smile for me and my mother. So sorry for such a huge loss in your lives. Hugs and prayers.

My dear sister, Mickey (Noble Dunkelberg) was a close friend of Arlene's for many years. Her husband, Don, and I went by her home in N Ft MYERS the end of April to say hello, but her neighbor told us she had already returned to Michigan. She was a beautiful human being and will be missed. My deepest sympathy to her family! Cherish the memories. Peggy Noble Idema
