I have known Arlene as her Avon Representative for more years that I care to mention and during this time we had become friends and shared many a high and low of our life.  I will miss her in the later capacity as she was always smiling with an upbeat attitude even if she was a little disappointed in the way her day was going.  Arlene was a lovely woman and I am delighted to have known and visited with her all these year.  My sympathy and prayers to you, her family in this time of great sadness. 

Fondly,
Jo Ann Kerst
