Hi Marilyn, I’m so very sorry for your loss…Arlene was one of a kind and I can still hear her voice saying, “Wellllll, I’ll tell ya.” She and your Dad were great neighbors….you should see the place now, the house was burned by the fire department a few weeks ago. Anyway, your Mom had a good long life and you can be so proud of her, she was a neat lady and knew a lot of stuff! I know you have a lot of memories living in Mt. Vernon and your folks. Relive them a lot and they will ease your broken heart. You are in my special thoughts. With sympathy, Annamae
