Dear Bill and Family;

We are heartbroken to hear of your loss.

To know Arlene was to love her. She had a loving smile and her gentle face
will never be forgotten.

Arlene's pain and grief are over now
and forever. She is safely home in Heaven.

We are pleased to have shared wonderful times with our friends and you both down in Florida.

God Bless You & Your Family

Dear Bill -
Our deep felt sympathies go to you and your family. Arlene was a special person who touched the lives of all who met her here at Heritage Cove.

Our prayers are with all of you.

Dear Bill,
We wish to express our sincere sympathy for you and your family. Although we were praying that God would take her home and give her peace, it is always difficult to say goodbye.
We loved Arlene like a sister and will treasure the many memories in the short 10 years we had the privilege to know her. There were so many happy times we shared, such as having pina coladas on the beach with the Musto’s, taking a Caribbean cruise together and the many St. Patrick’s parties we attended.
Our lives were enriched and blessed by having her in our lives.
May God bless you and your family and may Arlene rest in peace at long last.
Love & Prayers,
Earl & Tink

My deepest sympathy to the Gaynor Family. Arlene was a classmate of mine from Visitation High School 1955. I remember her as a caring person even way back then. May you find healing from your great loss in each other.

Dear Bill & Family,
We are sincerely sorry for your loss. Arlene was a beautiful person both inside and out. To know Arlene was to love her. We feel very privileged to have met her when we arrived at Heritage Cove in 2000 and shared so many memories and happy times with both you and her each winter. May the memories of the 56 years you shared with Arlene help to get you through these sorrowful times ahead. May God bless you and your family. Arlene's suffering is finally over.
Love, Rita & Pat Ryan, Smithtown, NY

Dear Bill and Family, I am so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is but trust in God that she is in a much better place. The memories you have of the great times will help along the way. I only remember Arlene and a fun loving wife, mother and friend who was always there for everyone.
