My deepest condolences to Denise, her brothers, and her whole family. Arlene was always so sweet and kind to me and accepted me immediately when Denise and i became very good friends 20 years ago. I always appreciated her loving kindness and spoke to her many times on the phone with Denise getting to catch up on our lives with good and with hard times.  She will be missed.  Love to all of you & God Bless You...

I love you so much love your number 1 grandson Jacob!

So sorry to hear of Arlene passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with you  
Love Rebecca and Cynthia Line (2nd cousins to Arlene)

My most vivid memories of Arlene are from the 80s and involve her wearing those suit sets with the pencil skirt. I have no clue what she did for work, but those suits emanated images of a powerful, respected, sophisticated woman. Her spaghetti was simple but was the BEST! She was Jeremiah's aunt, but she treated Patty and me well. I enjoyed reconnecting with her on facebook over the last several years. And I look forward to connecting with her again in Glory! 

Last time I saw these two beautiful people together in Gallup at their favorite restaurant Cracker Barrel! Now they are in heaven together!!

Dear Ken and Maureen:
We were so sorry for the loss of your lovely mother. She was such fun to be around and we know you will miss her so much. So glad we will be able to get together next week and share memories of fun times when we all lived in Tucson. 
Much love, Aunt Betty and Uncle John

I surprised Mom and Poppers with an unexpected visit when I was working in Albuquerque.

A loving mother and always praying for her kids.

Love you mom. I will do your eulogy for the family. Ecclesiastics 3 will be the topic. “There is a season God gives us for everything“.

Because of your faith in Jesus Christ, we know you are enjoying eternity with Him.
Give your loved ones who accepted Jesus into their hearts and are home with you a big hug!!!
