We will miss cousin Arvida and her wonderful laugh. Was she ever in a bad mood?? Her Christmas cards were ALWAYS the first ones we received. Hope you are having a party with your beloved Stan, your parents, ours and all that have passed on! Rest in peace, wonderful lady. Cousin Herb and Lois

I miss her very much and still can't believe she is gone. She was a wonderful neighbor and I always wanted to be just like her. Thoughts and prayers are with her girls.....
