It is so very sad to learn of Arris' death. She and Booie were lifetime friends of our family, and were very dear to my parents during their 22 years of ministry in Gadsden. Always cheerful and a devoted wife. We have all been blessed by her life and by her loving heart. Her last step on this earth was her first step into Heaven.
