Will always remember the wonderful gift of the sanctuary organ at Beaver & Hickman! Arlene spent many hours playing it from dedication day until we left Des Moines in 1971. She was a sweet lady and lived a full life. Now she is home.

When I saw your mother's obit in the paper, I was reminded of the fun we used to have together on 20th street years ago. Good times and bad. I'm sorry about your loss.
