Your Mom is going to be terribly missed, I loved being around her, we always used to share chicken gizzards, not the chopped ones. You are all a wonderful and loving family and can understand why, she has rubbed off on all of you, her personality, beauty, and warmness that she had, she will be missed.

Diane Spagnuolo,
I was sorry to read about your mother. I understand she had a long, difficult struggle. I do know she left a great legacy in a daughter named Diane. Love to see you two sometime.

My prayers and thoughts are with all of you. As I grew up in Trufant, (the daughter of Jerry and Nancy Arnett), I knew Frenchy and Arlene well. I will always remember Arlene as a very straight forward and wonderful person. I know that she will not only be missed by her family but by everyone in Trufant.
