I have such good memories of Arlene when Maurice was the minister here in Hastings. I'm sure she will be missed by many.

Maurice, I doubt you remember me, but I worked at Lincoln Memorial for 17 years and you were part of the staff as both a Minister and Assistant for part of those years and I so enjoyed your presence. You helped me through a very rough time and I've never forgotten it. I am so sorry for your loss. I do remember meeting Arlene a few times and she was a lovely lady. I pray that the Lord will wrap his loving, comforting arms around you and your family during this time. God Bless. Dave Robinson

To Maurice and family,
Our prayers are with you as you adjust to the loss of Arlene. I still sing the Helping Hands song which I believe she wrote. Both she and Maurice were very visual aid teachers as they ministered to the Hastings congregation.
Ken and I live in Azle, TX and have 3 grandchikdren.
