Dear Ed, Ann, and family,
I was very sorry to learn of Arlene's passing. She was always so kind, thoughtful and welcoming and I looked forward to seeing her at Mass. She was blessed to have such loving caregivers in all of you and her St.Thomas family will miss her faith-filled, smiling presence. You are all in my prayers at this difficult time.
Dearest Ann,
I was so sorry to read about the death of your mom, Arlene. I will always remember her attending Mass at the chapel and the loving care that both you and your Dad showed her. Prayers for your comfort and peace.
I will always remember Arlene’s beautiful smile and the twinkle she had in her eyes. She was such a kind and gentle soul, and just radiated the peace of Jesus. I was blessed to know her! My deepest sympathies go to Ed and Ann and to all of the family.
Ed, Anne and Warren,
Arlene always had a sweet smile and a kind word for everyone. A beautiful lady! She will be greatly missed in the front row at church. I can imagine her sitting in the midst of angels and praising God and praying for us that are left behind.
You are in my prayers,
Rosie Harris
I always remember Arlene as so sweet and kind to me. May her soul and the souls of the faithful departed rest in peace.
Arlene and I were both Discalced Carmelite Seculars. We visited at our monthly meetings. She and Ed were regular attendees when I started 22 years ago. Arlene never failed to ask about my daughter. The last time I saw her was at the 2019 outdoor novena to Our Lady of Mount Carmel and she asked about my daughter.
