I got the blessing to take care and love Arlene for 3 years. Arlene always knew how to light up the room with her smile. I cherished every moment with her that I was apart of, I even got in the habit of telling her “Goodnight, I love you and see you tomorrow”. Depending on her mood, she’d always give me a response but I knew that she was appreciative that we could be there to help she’d often let us know. We would joke and carry on about story’s or questions she would ask me. To Arlene’s family, she is a true blessing and the most beautiful person to take in so much love. -Maggie Wilson @ Mclean
