Arlene was my big sis…and we’re talking a lot of years between us! I’ve always said “she was moving out when I was moving in” (16 years actually)
I remember when I was younger and Christmas and birthdays rolled around. I was always excited and looking forward to getting a present from Arlene! No one else wrapped a present like her. She’d do the wrap yes, but then she’d put clear cellophane over top of it and then do the ribbon and bow! Sooo beautiful! And to this day I’ve never been given a present that was wrapped the way Arlene did hers. Just one of many many memories. Hey Arl, I really really miss you. Now who’s going to tell me the ‘way back when’ stories of our family?
