    Arleen has been a great Christian influence at Country Chapel as long as I can remember!! I simply can’t imagine a church service without her there! Just so very sorry for her family and our church family’s great loss! Looking forward to seeing her and Norm at the great resurrection.

      Thank you so much, Dixie for your kind words! It is hard to sit there in the pew on Sunday and not have her sitting next to me. Thank you for the lantern, it is quite lovely! Mom would have loved it with the cardinals.

    Dear family, Know that we are so sorry for your great loss. We all loved “Grandma J” and considered her part of our family. She was a wonderful woman of God who loved Him and her family. We will always cherish her great works of art!!! She was caring, kind, and had such a gentle spirit. She will be greatly missed on this earth, but our hope is in Jesus and we look forward to the day when we will join her in heaven. We are praying for God’s comfort for all of you. We love you!
