Dear Cousin Elaine, Arturo & Etelbina, I want to express my deepest sympathy at the loss of Arleen. I wish that I could be there with you all to provide some comfort during this very difficult time.

My dear cousin Elaine and family:

I was so sad to hear about my cousin Arleen passing away. Elaine, you were a wonderful sister to her. You did all you could for her, and I know that she appreciated you. You don't find many sisters like you. Now, she in heaven with Jason, safe and sound. I know it's hard to let go, but she is now resting and not suffering. The memories you both shared will always be in your heart.

We have been in Texas since Wednesday, for Kimberly's college graduation. We will be home Wednesday, May 12th. I am so very sorry that I am not there for you right now. I love you.

Your Cousin, Vivian
