I was so sorry to hear of Arnetta's passing. I had no idea she was that sick. Arnetta was one of my favourite clients, and I truly enjoyed seeing her almost everday. My thoughts are with you, David and Joyce as I am sure she will be really missed. Sorry for your loss.

Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. You are in my thoughts. Please accept my condolences.

So sorry to hear of your mothers passing, and we won't be able to be there. We came backto Florida after dad's funeral for a month. To think mom and your dad went in 1990 and both dad and Arnetta in winter 2012. I didn't realize when you emailed that Arnetta was so sick. You will miss her terribly but her struggles are over and she is free. We're sad for us but not for them. David, you were exceptionally devoted to your mother and your father would be so thankful for all you did and time you took from your family to be with your mom. You have no regrets. Dad always enjoyed his visits with you. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.

David and Janet, it was with great sorrow that we heard of Arnetta's passing. I have such wonderful memories of her and Bud along with you two spending time at our cottage and Cam's cottage. Visiting Lucknow will not be the same without a visit with Arnetta. Know that you have our sincere condolence in this time of your sorrow.

David,Joyce,Janet and Family; I am saddened to hear of Arnetta's passing. I remember our visits at the Legion Banquets. She was so proud the night you gave the presentation and Dad, Joan, John and I had such a good visit with all of your family. It's hard to believe they are both gone so quickly twenty-one years after Bud and mom. May the wonderful memories help in the days ahead. Thinking of you. Wendy
