It´s hard for me to realize she is gone. My love remains so strong and I miss her tremendously. She was my niece but to me she was my sister.
We always called her Pudgie that was her nick name. Pudgie was so kind
Generous and always loved people. My life is very empty not being to have her in it and talk to every day.
Pudgie you may left me but you will never leave my heart. I love you so much and my heart is empty without you. Rest In Peace my dear niece (sister).

My deepest sympathy to Nicole,Scott and their family. My deepest sympathy also to Kyle. Both Kyle and Nicole were wonderful loving, caring and devoted children to their mother , they were so blessed to have her as their mother and she also to have them, such a wonderful family and one I am proud to be apart of as Arlene's aunt. We were 10 days apart and grew up together loving, sharing and enjoying one another through out our life time
The death of my niece is definitely one of the hardest I have had to accept. I loved her dearly and my life now with out her will definetly have emptiness. May God Bless The Family.
Sincere love,
Aunt Peggy
