Condolence: Allen Arthur was a man who relished life and found joy in the simplest things, like picking up reserved books and movies at the library, discovering a hidden pond in the woods, photographing special moon events, trying out a beef jerky recipe, buying new tennis shoes, receiving a Cabela's Sports or Barns and Noble coupon in the mail, seeing wild birds at the feeder, and always....always.... surprising me with candy, flowers, cards, balloons, and cakes on my birthday, Mothers' Day, Valentines Day, and our Wedding Anniversary. It wasn't those things he gave me that made me happy. It was seeing his happiness and delight that made it all so wonderful and precious. On our 18th Wedding Anniversary, Oct. 16, 2016, I celebrated our marriage and honored him by doing some of those common, anyday activities that made our life together so rich, and meaningful, and adventurous, and everlastingly beautiful. I simply love him.

Condolence: I would like to offer my condolences to the Arthur family and may God be a refuge and strength in your time of sorrow.(Psalms 46:1)
