Arlene thanks to you for visiting our home in Juneau, Alaska. It was our honor to enjoy a simple meal with you and your wonderful son Todd on that trip. Your grace and presence made it clear Todd's mom was so kind and special. Marty and I feel a great pleasure to have known you. Please say hi to Kaya for us as you journey through heaven.
