My deepest condolences to Arline's family and friends. I have so many wonderful memories of Arline. My parents, Jim and Carol Howard enjoyed their friendship with Arline. Always heard many great stories about dancing the night away! Arline was my Mom's matron of honor at my parents“ wedding in 1970. She helped my Mom by being supportive and a calming presence. Arline was kind and sweet lady. She will be missed.
