No one can ever prepare us for the loss of our loved one. Our hearts go out to you all, cousins Mark, Kim, Deb and families, and we wish you nothing but comfort and strength. We are so glad we had the opportunity to visit with both your mom and dad a couple years a ago. She still had that contagious laugh and ear to ear smile that I always remembered growing up, even through the difficult times. She was an inspiration to me. One of my favorite young childhood memories was spending time at the lakehouse with Aunt Arlene and uncle Gordon, pumping water for the kitchen sink, using an out house (not so fun) and of course swimming. We will miss you Aunt Arlene. Love and Peace.
