I shall miss my dear stepmother so much. I grew to realize that she taught me a great many lessons-- not only about being a good person but how to be a gracious hostess, to have a forgiving heart, to give freely and fairly, and that a sense of laughter and humor could get one through many a trying time. Arlene was a wonderful (step)mother for me and an awesome grandparent to my sons, Blake and Cole. Because of her and dad, we enjoyed many family traditions and holidays together. What wonderful memories we have. And yet, there is a whisper of sadness that these wonderful things have a beginning and an end here on earth. Now you reap your heavenly reward and live blissfully, peacefully with the angels. But I wish you were still here. I wasn't ready for you to leave. I'll love you forever. Give dad a hug and a kiss.##imported-begin##Kay & Bob Cooke##imported-end##
