A truly wonderful woman lost her life to senseless violence. Hugs and love to her family left behind. May she rest in peace with our Lord. Kathy Belman

Dear ones: I spoke on the phone with Arlene several times this summer and I recall her being quite happy even though she had just been through some tough circumstances. I will always admire her for that. She had just returned from her recent trip yo Branson with her husband and some other members of her family. She was so excited too. She even discribed and named the things and places that were of definite interest to her. I still have the list by the phone that is on the desk in our bedroom scribbled on a yellow.sticky note. So later this week, when my cousin told us of her passing, I was saddened to learn of the details of her death and how she left her earthly home, but in my heart I believe that this journey is with God and she is also loving every minute of it. So sorry for your loss. I will miss her too. I always considered her to be a wonderful woman with a very warm personally who really cared about her mother and her wish to reunite the Riechmann clan. Best wishes always, Your cousins, Martha Ann Atherton-Lamczyk and her family

There are so many to share of Aunt Arlene it would take pages!! It's our loss but heavens gain !! She always had a smile, a kind word, always asked about how the boys were! She was greatly loved..
