Wanted to say thank you all so much for sharing your mother with us. So very glad was able to come to the funeral today it made me feel very special because I can't remember a time that your mother called me by my name that my middle name was not included, "Larry Charles" so I was special or just maybe was always in trouble. Thanks so much we all loved your mother!!

Arlene was a beautiful lady, and a loving friend to our family. She was a talented dancer, and enjoyed her friends. She was so kind to me during the passing of my father, Gerald Laster, last January. Arlene will truly be missed.
