Arlene, I worked with you for a short period of time in Chico, but you were the sweetest person and had a great sense of humor! :) My kids thought the world of you even though my daughter Candace is the main one who remembers you (she is 29). Loving wishes to your family and blessings... Glad you are an angel watching over us all now.

Missing someone is not easy, missing you is difficult! Knowing that you are not struggling for breath makes it a little easier for me... I shall always have you in my heart Auntie NeeNee!! Love Always, Tamra (the fun one!)

My sincerest condolences to all of your family. I was very happy to be able to meet Arlene and spend some wonderful time visiting with her. I had heard about her many times from Larry Jr. She was a very sweet and warm lady. :) Prayers and hugs to you all.

To all my cousins...I am oh so very sorry for your loss and pain...I loved Aunt NeeNee very much..I will miss her beautiful freckley eyes...and her inquisitive questions she was always firing at me..She was a strong woman and fought a very long time. She no longer needs to struggle to breath.
You are all in my thoughts!

Aunt Arlene, even though I could probably count on my fingers the number of times I have seen you in my life, I still felt close to you and will miss you. You were often in my thoughts and will continue to be. Your sister, Kathryn (my mother), is already missing you terribly. You were quite a lady. Rest in peace and I hope to see you on the other side when I get there.

I lost my best friend. My heart aches. It's hard for me to get through everyday. I want to call you, but I can't. I miss you terribly. I wear your necklace, when I think of you I hold on to it. The kids miss you terribly, that can't go to your house every weekend. You are so loved. Fly with the angels dear Mema, when the sum shines on our face we'll know its you.
