Ohhhh, my greatest sympathy for your loss, one of the most amazing women I will ever have my life graced with. I fell in love with Arlene the day she plopped in my salon chair, having full trust in me (the pressure) God love her whitty personality that made my day the best A+ I will have ever earned! I’m saddened so, mainly for the reason that I picked up the phone to call Arlene many times, yet I hesitated, for the exact reason for what I am reading now. Forgive me for my hesitation, I did not give you, Arlene’s beloved family, proper respect. I feel as if I know you just from her stories, pictures, and memories she shared with me. She so loved her family, even when you kept up with every move she made for the sake of her safety (she had her choice of words)🤭
How I miss her more now than ever, she was my confidant and my best of laughs.
May the heavens roar as her entrance will be no other than an A+
