Max an d Family,

My deepest prayers for all of you. I was out of the country and just found out.

Linda· NieceApr 20, 2015

I had the privilege of calling Arlene my aunt for the past 67 years. I have fond memories of spending time with her and Uncle Max when they lived on the farm. I will miss her, but know she is with my Mother and Dad in heaven. Prayers for all the family.

Carmen Tate· daughterApr 20, 2015

I was blessed with a special mother, and my family and I will miss her tremendously. Reminiscing the last few days with family and friends has let me know she touched the hearts of several people. She will always live on in our hearts! I wonder who she is making dinner for now?

I'm thinking of you Carmen and all your family during this time. I hold good memories of your mother from my early years as a child (Paulita Bacus) growing up in the Walnut Grove Presb. Church. Her smile, laughter, joyful heart and kindness will always be remembered by me. Our mothers and fathers were good friends/neighbors. Prayers of comfort I'm asking our dear Lord to give you all. You have been lucky to have such a wonderful mother.
