Condolences to the family, I'm sitting here reminiscing about our past experiences we shared and smile at some of them as we were growing up. We lost touch over the years but my heart bleeds for the family during this difficult time. Vera Bell (Bonds)
You will truly be missed get your rest queen i loooooove you...MC
Arlene was more of an aunt than a cousin to me. She took me to the mountains. She loved to hear me sing and she was my daddy's (MC) favorite cousin. There is a special place in my heart for her and her girls especially Paulette. Rest on Arlene no more pains and suffering.
My Sincere Condolences To The Family Sharon Martin Mills.
