I can not remember a day when Arlene was not smiling. Plus she always knew where to find the stuff I would be interested in at a cheap price. I am sorry for your lost. But happy she is in a better place than we are. Sincerely Michelle

Gary, Lisa, Alex and Kelsey- We are so sorry to hear about Arlene passing. She was the best neighbor lady ever. We all had such a great childhood growing up on Bier Street, and she was such a big part of it.
