"Family - you are all in our thoughts and prayers during the days ahead. I have known and loved Ms. Arleta for as long as I can remember. She has always been a part of my life. She was a part of most all of the big events in my life too. I am so thankful that I was able to spend some time with her before she was transferred to Little Rock. We were able to catch up, laugh a lot, say I love you, and of course she talked about her children, grands, and great-grands. She was so very proud of each of you. I know Heaven gained an angel. We will miss her but we have an amazing guardian angel in our corner.
Love,
John, Paige (Hill), and boys"

"Family -
You are all in our thoughts and prayers. We loved Arleta and will miss her tremendously. Worked many years with her at Safeway/Harvest Foods. We have had a long and good friendship. She was a character through and through. The last phone call we shared we had several good laughs, talked about all of her family and how much she loved each of you. She was so proud of you all.

We will miss her and look forward to a reunion with her again one day.

Love,
Jimmy and Donna"
