I am saddened to see the news of Arlene's passing. This is Laura Kadashaw Talbot from Illinois. She was a wonderful person and will be missed. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. I am so sorry for your loss.

Love Laura

When I met Arlene, I knew she was a lifelong friend in the making and nothing ever changed that feeling of deep connection, trust and love.

We met when Scott was just 2 and my son was the same, in a program that was then called “Mommy and Me”.

I will love and miss you forever Arlene and I am so grateful for the beautiful memories.

With much love to Arlene’s family and friends,

Lyn

I’ve been thinking a lot about the journey we shared—one that began all the way back in 2001. You were never just a client; you became a teacher, a guide, and a true friend. I learned so much from you—your stories, your wisdom, and the beautiful pieces of your Jewish heritage you trusted me with.

Your sense of style and artistry always inspired me, and our conversations—about family, design, life, and everything in between—are moments I still carry with me. Even after moving, I find myself remembering them often, grateful for how much they shaped me.

Thank you for your friendship, your honesty, your creativity, and the light you brought into my life. I’m deeply thankful that our paths crossed, and I’ll always hold that in my heart.

Your  friend,

Eric Culbertson 

May her memory be a blessing to her family.

Arlene was my high school chemistry partner and best friend.  We once baked a cake for our teacher and held it together with frosting.  Although we haven’t seen each other  in many years when we connected a few years ago  time stood and we were back in high school.

I will miss her.  Good -bye my dear friend

Hugs

Elaine
