    Arlene was my sister-in-law, but she was more like the sister I never had. I will miss her so much.

    You were a blessing to me and everyone that knew you. I'm going to miss you so very much, even though, we didn't talk everyday, we still knew how much we meant to each other. Your light has shined a long time for the Lord, now it's dark, but you're with our Lord and Savior walking in His light. I'm looking forward to being with you, soon. If those that love you haven't accepted our Savior, they will never see you again. I hope that they'll think about this at your passing. See you soon. Love in Christ.
