Dear Ernie, Chris, Julie and family,
We are so sorry to hear of your loss. We know Arlene was a very special person in your lives and that you will certainly miss her. We know we will see her at the resurrection. In the meantime, faith won't remove all sorrow, but it will keep us close to God, who helps us to endure bereavement. - Psalm 121:1-3; 2 Corinthians 1:3. We hope those scriptures will bring you comfort. Please know our heartfelt thoughts are with you.
With Love and Deepest Sympathy,
Daryl and Brenda Boyce

Dear Ernie
My sympathy to you is heartfelt. I will miss Arlene, her smiles and the glow that seemed to surround her. Your adjustment now will be extreme, call or text if I can be of help. Dolores has been gone for six years but "Her Memory Is Eternal" as is Arlenes.
Expression of Sympathy

Please accept my sincere condolences for the loss of your dear loved one, Arlene. It breaks our hearts when death separates us from the ones we love so much. The Bible reminds us that God sees our pain and sorrow and has promised that soon, "death will be swallowed up forever."(Isaiah 25:8) He will heal our broken hearts by resurrecting our precious loved ones to life again.(John 6:40) Until then, I hope the beautiful memories of Arlene and these promises from God comfort you in the days to come.

I'm so sorry for your lose. As I've been told when very young she struggled with my name Mark and called me a spark thus creating the nickname my late mom used to call me by until she passed.
