My sincere condolences to the family on the loss of your loved one. True comfort comes by drawing close to God (Psalms 83:18) in prayers so He (God) can draw close to you in return. (James 4:8).

Dear Judy, Mary and I want to extend to you our sincere sympathy on the passing of your Mother. We recall you telling us about having a condo where she could live with you, You obviously did a great job of supporting her in her time of need. No doubt significant memories were made during those times. We wish you the best as you move forward. Ken and Mary Adler

Arlene hired me 34 years ago at the Department of Revenue. I have fond memories of working for her for a couple of years. She taught me a lot. I eventually got a promotion to another section at DOR and have promoted a few more times since then. I'm still at the State after all these years, but have to thank her for giving me my start. So sorry for your loss. -Jodi
