Arlean, a year has passed since you went to Heaven, and I still think of you always. Your eyes lit up a room as well as your smile. Donald and all your family and friends sure do miss you. Love you, my Friend!

Prayers for sympathy, condolences, blessings, patience and strength to the Bordelon family. Mrs. Arlean was such a quiet yet friendly lady and hard worker at Jerusalem Temple. May God bless your entire family.

When I met Mrs. Arlene and asked what she lived for, she beautifully replied "my family". She went on to say that she also found her purpose in praying with and for anyone at anytime (day or night). She seemed a constant giver and would always find a reason to smile. It is an honor to have known what I consider to be a vessel of selfless love-an angel among us. Prayers for your family always. Will certainly miss you very much Mrs. Arlene.

Blessings and love,
AE

Arlean and I became friends way back in the 7th grade at Metairie Jr. High. We have stayed friends for the past 67 years. We may not have seen or talked to each other all the time, but when we did it was like no time had passed. She and Donald were made for each other and where one went so did the other. She was the best mama and grandma any child could every ask for. She gave of herself constantly. She will be missed by all her family and extended "family" and friends. Heaven has definitely gained a 1st class Angel ! "Smile down on us Arlean everyone down here misses you"
