Hi.

I am very sorry for your loss.

I was a friend and coworker with Arlene for many years at The Wrigley co.

As much as I would like to come to the funeral, I am unable to do so because of my health, I don't get around very much anymore.I just had my 77th birthday and I am getting kind of slow and unable to travel.

I will be praying for my friend Arlene and for all of the family members....May God Bless you all.
