We are saddened to learn of Arlene“s passing. We were so looking forward to celebrating her 100th Birthday with Her in February. She always made a special effort to speak with you at a family gathering, reminiscing; she remembered everything! She was a remarkable special individual as evidenced by Her parting words; she was always thinking of others. A real First Class Lady. THANK YOU Arlene for touching our lives. Rest in Peace
