Mrs. Arlene Faye DeJaynes

We are sorry for your loss. Arlene was such a wonderful babysitter for our boys. She always made us feel our sons were special to her and made sure to tell us about their day. We appreciated her words of wisdom and advice pertaining to our boys, especially since our own parents were not able to see our boys nearly as often as Arlene. Arlene was a beautiful soul who touched the lives of so many families and were so glad we were one of those lucky families.

Berry. May your mother rest in peace. Howie Rossell.

We always appreciated Arlene and Emil so much as they started watching our son when he was two weeks old. I would never have trusted anyone else to watch him. They were so good to keep me filled in with stories from the day as he grew and she was the best daytime "mother" ever! One time when he was older, she had made a plate of spaghetti for lunch. It was hot and Kyle was getting sleepy as it was cooling. She was fanning it was a magazine. Emil had come home for lunch, and he was sitting next to Kyle trying to entertain him to help keep his eyes open. Just as Arlene said it was ready, Kyle's head went forward right into the plate of food. Arlene ran for the camera and took the cutest picture for a memory for me. She wiped him off and gave up. Off to bed he went for his nap. Arlene was the best teacher on potty training. She had a step-by-step method she followed during the day with instructions for me to follow at night and on the weekends. He was the earliest potty-trained boy I know. I miss both of them. They are such a nice family. Kyle is working out of town and wanted me to let you know how much he is thinking of your family at this time. We really appreciate knowing all of you and I appreciate the kindness and care you gave our family. Arlene, and her smile, will be missed. Ellen Anderson & Kyle Klump

I am sorry to hear of Arlene's death. She was a great babysitter for my nephew when he was young and I also worked with Barry many years at the post office. I know she will be greatly missed by family and friends.
