Arlene Yanney was my cousin and I loved her dearly. I'm so sad to be learning of her passing on. She was the sweetest and most beautiful lady/cousin I ever knew. Thank you Arlene for all of your years of friendship and support. Now you are with Barbara and Aunt Dot , Grandma and Grandpa Mathiot, in Heaven.
She was cared for in her final days I believe, by her beautiful and loving daughter Kaye.
Rest In Peace Arlene. Always in my heart and in my prayers. No more pain. God bless you. Love you, Devon
