"Arleen was as special as they come. She was
the pillar of the family, was always there when needed and had a real knack for
getting over the humps. She had a heart as big as they come, and she always
managed to stay cheerful. Arleen always showed her love for her children and
grandchildren. She will live on in our hearts forever," her family said.

Cheboygan, Mich.; daughters, Rhonda Marie Bonner and April Larae Stedman, both
