Dear Ann, what a huge loss. My heart goes out to you and your brother. Arline was a significant person in my life. Her smile and optimism got me through some very tough times. I have so many fond memories of her from our days when we all saw each other more. My deep condolences.

Ms. Foster - Although I knew you for too short of a time, you were a source of inspiration to me. I admired your strength and perseverance through trying times and reminded me with that pretty smile and classy grace, to be glad for what we do have. Your presence will be missed, but your friendship will forever be a part of my life.

P.S. I wish that instead of a candle picture, that I could put up a duckie! Shake things up and give those angels a quack for us!

Ann and Ken,
Your mother and father were the most inspirational couple I knew. I learned so much about God and forgiveness through them. Arline will be greatly missed, however she is now reunited with your father.
My prayers of comfort go out to you.

I feel blessed to have known Arline. She was a beautiful woman of God who had a love for life and those who were in it One Christmas several years ago, Arline gave me a crystal sun catcher that still hangs in my kitchen window. Each time I look at it, I will remember her thoughtful and kind spirit, and give thanks for having known such a wonderful person! I am especially grateful to Arline for raising such a wonderful daughter- Annie, you are the sister I got to chose!

My family and I loved Arline very much. I feel very blessed to call her my friend. She taught me so much about my Christian faith. She was my spiritual mentor and I will miss her very much. She was full of grace and beauty inside and out and was generous with her time. My daughters have been enriched by her presence in their lives as well. My prayers are with you Ken and Ann as you cherish her memory.
