It has been a year that I have been visiting Arlene once or twice a week. I will miss playing Rummikub with her. What a great friend she has become to me. Will miss her.
So sorry to hear of your Mom’s passing. She was always so nice to visit with.
Scott,
Joyce and I are very sorry for your loss and our prayers are with you and your family.
Dear family and friends–
I describe Arlene’s most precious gift she gave others as the best prayer warrior ever. She would pray for an entire family, using their individual names, prayer requests and praise daily. She and Bobbie Jean knew about our families struggles and joyous occasions.
I hope those that knew Arlene fully know that her desire was for others to believe and trust in her Lord and Savior.
Thank you Arlene for giving of yourself to so many and allowing us to be in your life, too.
We love you and are secure in knowing that you are walking straight in a healed body, rejoicing with those you know in heaven.
Love–Allison, Harvey and family
We will miss you Arlene in our neighborhood. Blessings!
My condolences. We have great memories of Arlene when she was our mom’s Avon Lady. My mom really enjoyed seeing her and visiting with her. Arlene was always a kind and a wonderful person! I saw her a couple years back at Perkins or Subway. We had a nice conversation. It was good to see her!
