Twila and family, I am sorry for your loss. Andy & I loved Sis. Arlene after meeting her when Maynard came to pastor at Calvary Assembly. It was always a pleasure to see her when we shopped at Atwater Stationary. She was blessed with a long life and we were blessed to have known her. Jeanne Gonzalez

Heaven just got a lot brighter.... I am so fortunate to have met and taken care of Arlene. She was a truly amazing woman, caring and thoughtful. I really loved our chats in the morning and "dutch" braiding your hair. My deepest sympathies to Raymond and family. Ill miss you Arlene.
