Words cannot express the sadness that I feel.... she treated me like one of the gang. May all the happy memories that you have help you in the days and months ahead.. Time doesn't heal your heart just makes the days more bearable. My thoughts are with you, Woody, Karen & family.

We have many fond memories of Arlene and all the Judkins clan here on Westport Island. I know it's hard to let go, but the love and joy she brought to so many will live on forever.
