George, Ryan, Tyler and Family,
My deepest sympathies and warmest thoughts are with you all at this difficult time.
Over the past 14 years Arlene became a very close friend and mutually adopted sister, who I loved dearly. Our conversations were long most weeks and we shared a lot as our friendship grew. She was a kind, loving, generous and strong woman who adored her family and grand children. I will miss my chosen sister very much, but I know she is at peace and memories of her are gifts she has left behind. With gratitude and love, Sherran Lacey

I am truly saddened to hear of the passing of Teacher Arlene. Teacher Arlene was my preschool teacher, and throughout the years we always made sure to stop by her house for a special candy bag on Halloween! She even wrote cards for my best friend and I the year we graduated highschool. I am 26 now and only have the fondest of memories. Condolences to her entire family, I hope you find comfort in knowing how many peoples lives Teacher Arlene has touched and made better.

This is undoubtedly some of the saddest news I have received this year! "Teacher Arlene" was so much more than a teacher to our family. She taught and cherished all 4 of my children at Park Meadows Playschool... and what a blessing that was for us and sooo many others! Our hearts are heavy but her light will continue to shine bright through all of our wonderful memories. We love you Arlene❣️

I am so deeply saddened to hear of Arlene’s passing. She was my son’s play school teacher and I got to know her well participating in aquajog @ the fritz sick for many years. It was a pleasure to visit her at home last year after not being able to catch up at swimming. She was always so kind and always asked after my son who is now 27. My heart goes out to all her beloved family.

I don't know where to start as I sit here trying to put into words the shock and deep sorrow I feel in the loss of "one of us". To you a sister- to me a cousin and a friend. We are still young, this was not meant to happen yet! I remember hunting for salamanders on the farm or pretending to be the Partridge family in the unfinished home being built next to yours. Arlene was always the responsible one of us. She will be so greatly missed by all who knew and loved her. May you find strength in the love of family, in the quiet moments you remember. I am so sorry I cannot be there, but know I am thinking of you all- with much love. Alvera
