Condolences to the Family

My sympathy goes out the entire family.   I am so sorry I did not realize she had passed until the day after the services or I would have come to see the family & pay my respects.  After MANY, MANY years I crossed paths with Arlene again at Grace Community Church of Willow Street.  I remember Arlene from the days of going to the Creswell Store, attending school & church with her children & some of the step children.  She must have cherished those good old days too as she gave me a photo of my sister, Debbie, at a youth gathering.  Oh the memories!   May each of you cherish those precious memories as they are treasures now.

To the family:
May God wrap His arms around you and give you His comfort and peace as you grieve.  We can rejoice in His promise that we will see her again in heaven.  Thank you so much for sharing her with me,  We worked together, laughed together and cried together.  She was my special friend Leany and I will treasure her forever.  Love and prayers.  Linda Bleacher

I remember songs your Mom would sing like Alice Where Are You Going and another one about a little boy that needed shoes.  She was a happy person most everyday. May you have memories like this to treasure in your time of sorrow. It is a strange world when our parents are gone. Bless you all .
