Arleen was an awesome force in my life. I first met her when she came to speak at my high school for Career Day in 1986. She made the rest of my life come into focus and became a real friend. As the ambassador for the Center for Entrepreneurship, I know she inspired many young people. Great lady and I appreciate her so much. I'm sorry we've lost her, but I thank the universe for her.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.
Arlene's smile was infectious. She was a loving soul, willing to give of herself to her family, and church. She will remain forever in our hearts.
