Message: I called Arlene a few weeks back and had a wonderful conversation with her. We talked about her issues and agreed that it would all turn out for the okay. I just spoke with Roger K. and he told me that Arlene had passed away. I found it hard to believe after just talking with her. As a High School class mate, I remember her laugh most of all and great spirit.
I offer my condolences to all her family.
