Rena, Debbie & Rhonda, we were sorry to hear of Arnold's passing. As someone else said, our loss is surely Heaven's gain. I imagine Arnold is enjoying a grand reunion with many, including Bro Alan and our Lord & Savior, and maybe is even conducting a choir, as he so loved to do. Our thoughts and prayers are definitely with you. We love you all very much.
