Rest In Peace Aunt Arlene
My thoughts and prayers are with Uncle Edgar, David, Sharon and Michael. We all loved Aunt Arlene. I know my mom and her are both together again. I can picture them sitting at the kitchen table with their coffee. Love, Debbie
Aunt Arlene, you will be
Aunt Arlene, you will be fondly missed. You were a huge part of my childhood. I will always remember all the time we spent together, watching you cook, helping you take wash down off the clothesline and listening to Randy Travis with you. I had so much fun with you and Sharon painting ceramics and just hanging out at the house. I will never forget when we went to the cabin in Potter County and Aunt Gerry showered outside on a windy day and that curtain blew up a little too high and we all laughed until we cried! We all saw a little too much that day. Thinking of Uncle Edgar, David, Michael and especially, Sharon. I will miss you. Love always, Leslie.
