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.

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
