We are so sorry to hear of your loss. Your mother was a special person. I have some wonderful memories as a child coming as a family to visit her in Florida from New Jersey. What fun we had swimming in her pool! Also was lucky enough to see her in the last couple of years on her trips here in Jersey. May the wonderful memories you all hold close to your heart get you through this difficult time. With our deepest Sympathy, & Love Pam & Mark

My sincere condolences to the family. I met Arlene years ago at MidFlorida Credit Union and we immediately connected. She was such a loving positive individual who kept her chin up through everything she went through. Loved her spirit, kindness and laughter. She was not only my “member” but a beautiful friend. Rest In Peace Arlene
