Our mother’s qualities were evident to everyone who had known her. Everyone agrees the Arlene, “Auntie Arlene” or simply mom’s life defines the term humility with never even a hint or smidgen of ostentation. Further, our mother was unwavering in her devotion, care, and protection of her Catholic Faith, family, and friends. She was quick to establish and sustain lifelong friends. Our mother’s home was her castle and she radiated contentment when surrounded by loved ones. You’ll be sorely missed Mom.
