Dear Alan, Joanie & Linda…..Our deepest sympathy & Heartfelt thoughts & prayers to you & your family….
Growing upArlene was a kind and caring neighbor–I wish her peace. Also, extend my words of comfort to Linda, Alan and Doug–Arlene loved her children very much.
We have lost another favorite family member. Aunt Arlene was special in so many ways. She and I shared a lot of laughs over the years and memories too. I know she is with my Mom and they are misbehaving up there in heaven.
Rest in peace, Arlene. ! We have missed you & Fred for quite some time at the Legion. Prayers for comfort & peace to the family.
Doug…so sorry for your loss. I never got the chance to meet your mom, but she must’ve been a wonderful lady and she gave us you.
