Dear Leigh and family, I didn't have the pleasure of meeting your Mom, but she sounds like she was a very loving, positive, and ambitious woman who left an amazing influence on so many. My sincere sympathies to each of you.

Dear Leigh, Wendell, and Karen,
I was so very saddened to learn from Louise, of the recent passing of your MOST AMAZING Mother.
I have so many fond memories of the great times shared at the "old Country Club" with your Mom and Dad in the 50's and 60's. She will be missed by so many!!!

To Arlene's family,
I have seen the very nice messages left by others and would like to add one of my own. You know, of course, that Arlene was a source of inspiration and strength for a lot of people, and that was certainly true for our side of the family. I will take the liberty here of speaking for your Aunt Rita (she would not mind), who was one of Arlene's biggest fans. Simply put, Arlene was a tremendous source of delight and pride for "Great Rita" (as my kids called her), and that extended to all of us. Arlene touched my life as well and I am grateful to have witnessed her example of fairness and grace.

I am so sorry to hear the news. My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.
As a kid, and through my young adult life...I always thought Arlene was just the coolest.

Your mom was always a very special lady in my life and I know how much you will miss her. She raised wonderful daughters, Leigh, Wendel and Karen. May her inexhaustible spirit and grace live on in you.

I am shocked and saddened to read of Arlene's passing. My sister, Jo-Ann, and I were speaking of her only this past weekend and I said I would give her a call... Obviously, Leigh, Wendell, Karen, we have been out of touch much too long. I am so sorry and I share your grief.

I am sorry to learn that Arlene, a person who was always interested in the community and in seniors issues, will no longer be at any meetings I attended. It was a pleasure knowing and working with her. Best wishes to all of her family, who I am sure, will find difficulty filling the vacuum left by her absence.

My heart goes out to you on the loss of your mother. I was sad to hear about her passing from my mom. I know I have a lot of memories from the house on 110A from so many years ago. Love and prayers Karen, Leigh and Wendel.

Arlene was a wonderful person. In her volunteering with Alberta Council on Aging and with Edmonton Seniors Coordinating Council she gave guidance, called for justice, supported others in their work and shared of herself. She was a person of vision who spoke the truth when it needed to be heard. She was person of passion who saw the future and then worked hard with us to make it happen. We have all been blessed by her gifts.
