There were very few people that I have met in all my life that conducted themselves with such dignity and respect.
You and Bill were always kind to me and my parents and for that I will be eternally grateful.
May both your memories be eternal.

I was part of the team that cared for Arlene at MGH in Boston. I loved to sit and chat with her about her projects and her love of travel. She faced each challenge with grace and taught me much about facing adversity.

Arlene was a dynamic woman and a treasure to teachers. We travelled together to many seminars and our long talks on those car rides made the trips seem short and form our friendship. I´ll miss her. My deepest sympathies to her family.
