Our friendship started in First Grade and continued until Arlene was taken from us. We three gals lost a friend of 77 years. The 4 couples shared many a happy times together,
giving us wonderful memories. She's gone, but will never be forgotten. Let her smile shine down on all of us.

Our hearts ache over the loss of our "forever friend", Arlene. We treasure the memories of growing up together in Kellogg and our continuing friendship over the years. Who can forget 31 annual trips to Sunriver. We will miss you, dear friend.

Our condolences to the family. Had perpetual masses offered for Arlene at the National Shrine of St. Jude. She was a kind and loving soul to us all, and wonderful mother-in-law to our son Dave. God rest her soul.

My heartfelt sympathies go out to you, Bill and your family. Arlene, was one of my favorite cousins. Always a fun time when we got together. She was full of spunk and a bit of vinegar too. How nice to remember her of what she once was.
Love,
Cousin Hazel

I recall many fun shopping excursions to the Hallmark store. Arlene and Bill were always friendly and helpful ... but not too helpful, you know, they let you browse without hounding you. It always made shopping there a pleasurable experience. Arlene always wore a bright smile when I ran into her in the community. Thoughts and prayers are with the family.
