Not sure what to say?

I was lucky enough to know her via my friendship with her lovely daughter -Kim. One of several memories I have of her was when my husband and I photographed Kim and Jeff's wedding. I have a great "video" of her in my mind of that day. She looked lovely, was laughing and really enjoying the people and the event.
She got a lot of "livin" in her years - beyond what most can say.
She is missed.

One liners! She made us laugh while laughing with us. She loved dancing, stimulating conversation, family gatherings, good manners, fine food, traveling, sing-alongs, friends and especially her family, both "real" and extended. Whether gliding across the stage or "Singing For The Cure", she gave 100%. She is already greatly missed 'though wonderful memories of times spent with her will live on.
Deepest sympathies and warmest alohas - Ke Akua Hoopomaikai Oe.

Jeff and family:
You havf my deepest sympathy over your loss. I know you will miss your Mom, her soft smile, and great humor.
Sorry I cannot be there.

As the second oldest grandchild of Mrs. Skipper, or more affectionately know to us as Nana, i learned alot from her time here with us. She taught me that no matter what troubles stand in your way that you can overcome them with love and faith. My children, Niyanna and Treyvon did not know her well but remembered her and loved her. I thank you Nana for all your encouragement over the years. Your thought and prayers caried me through many a rough spot. I know that you are in heaven smiling down...

To the Skipper Family,

It was with a great sense of loss when I heard of the death of your Mother. I just wanted to let you know that my heart was truly saddened.

My sincere thoughts and prayers are with you.

With deepest sympathy,

To the Family,
We would like to say that we have not been blessed with knowing Mrs. Arlene as long as most of her friends but we do consider our self as one. She and I have had many conversations via emails,text and phone conversations. She was a very loving, caring, intelligent and spirited woman. I just wish that her two great grandchildren Niyanna and Treyvon could have gotten to know her better but her illnes prevented it. She will be missed and the love for her does not stop here...

To All who loved her. May the peace and comfort of God's Holy Spirit be with you and upon you. My personal life is marked by her ecouragement and was changed by her love.

Norris (Nels} and Bonita Durrell
Our prayers are with everyone in Arlenes family. We miss Arlene and have fond memories of the time we knew her.

To the family,

Let yourselves feel God’s love within you. Take that love and use it to help yourselves and others. In everything you do, you can rely in him and trust in him, because he only wants what is best for each of you and your families. You all are his beloved children and he will be with you all right now and forever.
