Phil and I are so sorry to hear of Arlene's passing. We enjoyed many good talks with her over the years and loved her friendship. She will be missed by so many. Leona, we love you and are praying for peace at this time.
I had the pleasure of working with Arlene for years at Bradley Center. She was a very caring nurse and played the piano as well there. Know she touched many hearts including mine.
