I am Janet Gilman's sister and also have the fondest of memories about Arlene and the Kerbecks. As a young girl, I was so impressed by her style, flair and love for life. You are in my thoughts in this difficult time.

I am so sorry to hear of Arlene's death. I lived next door to the Kerbeck family when I was a little girl, and memories of Arlene and her family are among the best that I have. God bless all of you in this sad time.
