It was with great shock that I read about the passing of Arlene. Larry and Michael, I send you my sincerest condolences for your loss and hope that your many wonderful memories will give you some comfort at this very sad time. Michael, your mother was one of a kind, a sweet, giving, and a lovely human. Larry, you told me a long time ago you were going to marry Arlene. The last time I saw you two together, you both had the same love for each other from our childhood. Larry, you are a lucky man to have lived your life with the woman of your dreams. Again, I am so sorry for your loss.

Dear Larry and Michael, We are so devastated to hear of Arlene''s recent passing. Auntie has had a special place in our hearts, and we loved all of the moments we were able to share together. Auntie and Jordan''s dad grew up together and shared a close friendship that later grew to encompass his mom, Janice. Arlene and Janice had a routine of sharing nightly phone calls to catch up on each others'' days. Jordan feels honoured to have grown up alongside Mikey, and spent so much time with you all while you lived in Thornhill. Auntie garnered a reputation in the Freedman family for her famous poppyseed cake; it has remained a coveted recipe. She helped Jordan choose his first piece of jewelry for Sam, a butterfly-shaped pendant on a necklace that she adored and wore for many years. Auntie has very much been a motherly figure to Jordan and the Freedman siblings, and developed a particularly special bond with Jason. In recent years, Arlene and Larry''s visits to the Pit Stops of the Journey for Janice have been appreciated. Auntie will be very much missed. We will keep her memory alive in the time we share with Larry and Michael. All our love through this difficult time, Jordan and Samantha
