    My deepest sympathies to all of Arlean&&single&&s family. I appreciated Arlean&&single&&s friendship very much and so enjoyed visiting with Arlean and having her in the choir at First Presbyterian and her wonderful sense of fun at church social events. Her strong and deep faith in our Lord and Saviour, Jesus the Christ was an inspiration to all who knew her. She will be greatly missed, but lives on within the love of God.
    Peace and comfort to you all, through Christ.
