Our prayers and thoughts to the Arnason family. Ernie and I have so many wonderful memories with Brian and Marlene. At Arnolds, the Arnasons was always "Grand Central Station - summer and winter horseshoes, trivia pursuit - Marlene "just say walnuts". Saturday afternoon jaunts and Steak night at Lakeview. St. Joseph's club-bowling. Frostys' haircut...just a few that stand out. Marlene was a devoted mother, loved her boys - "Brian", Shawn and Bradley. A truly beautiful person, who will be missed.
