I, also, consider myself privileged to have known Arlene. I have such fond memories of her, Bob, Steve, Deb and the seemingly endless stream of wonderful people coming through the doors at their home. She was particularly kind and loving to my Mom throughout her life with its up's and downs, and for that I am eternally grateful. No one can replace a Mother. Mother's are gems on this earth, and Arlene was a 2nd Mom to so many of us...always willing to listen and help solve a problem, or challenge us to be better people. She loved to laugh and really got a kick out of the antics of all of the young people (whether her children's friends, or her grandkids). I am so sorry she has passed, and wish all of you comfort as you begin the slow process of healing. Hugs to Bob -- always the good guy, with a smile, a funny quip and a can-do attitude and no nonsense viewpoint. Again, my thoughts and prayers are with you all.
