Dear Hanson Family,
I was saddened to hear of Arlene's death. She was a wonderful lady and a faithful member of the church. She is no longer suffering and is busily engaged in the Lord's work. She was so kind to my mother and was truly one of her favorite nieces. I hope you will find peace and solace.

Dear Hanson Family, My Aunt Nita Clark and I just had a trip down memory lane talking about Arlene. She was a good friend of my grandmother, Alice Curtis, back in the day! We are sad to see her go but happy for what she is experiencing now with other loved ones on the other side.
