What a sweet, kind Lady…my Cousin Harry was so fortunate to have in his life ….and that the rest of us were privileged to know. As the family grew and we all had families of our own..we didn’t visit like in our younger days, but when I did ..we reminisced about the laughter and fun in days gone by…She told me she was ready to join Harry and I understood her feelings..they’re together again..and we’re left with memories…I’ll always remember her voice and sweet smile..Till we meet again one day…..

I consider myself to be lucky to have known and worked with Arvella. She was always warm and caring and enjoyable to be with. She will be missed but I know she and Harry are brightening up Heaven. God bless and comfort you all in your loss. Rejoice in knowing she is in a wonderful place. Steve Arnett

Arvella has been just the sweetest neighbor. She was such a kind soul and our family is better for having known her. I’m sorry for your loss, but comforted that she’ll get to spend more time with Harry. - Rick
