January 17, 2020 at 3:05 amArlene was one of my favorites. I loved when I got to spend time with Sandra and also visit with Arlene. I
remember one time she let me drive her car when I was still a novice and it was scary! She told me to flash my lights at someone who came toward us with his brights on. I had NO idea how to do that. But somewhere in my memory was a recollection of my parents pushing a button on the floor. I found it and success! It seems a moment ago that I was there with you all. Arlene was always cool. She still looks so beautiful.
She was such a great lady.???? Condolences to her family from Joan (Liechty) and Paul Barnatd
