As I think about Arline, she was always laughing about something, and basically, 'just carrying on' with that twinkle in her eye! Having fun! She was a sweet, sweet lady and one great Aunt! She and my mom were friends, having met at work, and she introduced my dad to my mom! I will miss her smile and laugh - I can see her now! Can you imagine the reunion in heaven right now?

Arline was a wonderful sister, mother, wife and grandmother. Everyone loved Arline. She was sweet and kind and besides being my sister she was also my friend. We'll miss you Arline, but I'll always remember the fun we had all through our lives.

Aunts and Uncles are responsible for some of the most wonderful memories Nephews and Nieces have. Such is the case with Arline. Our lives were made so much more robust because of the family ties to her. Her individualism was unique and her love of our family was wonderful. God richly blessed her with her own family, but we always had a place of love with her. We will miss her, but know that what she so freely gave us will remain as a gift without price.
