So sad to hear of Arlene's passing- I am attending the Write to Publish Writer's Conference in Wheaton, IL, this week where I met Arlene as a writer friend years ago. She volunteered also to help with the conference. What a beautiful woman of faith and great writing skills. She will be truly missed!

This is late because I just found out about Arlene's passing. I am a writer from Illinois and Arlene and I had made plans to go to a couple of writers conferences this year. Arlene was a very talented and caring person. A Christ-loving woman always trying to do her best. I admired how busy she stayed. She was a very dear friend and I will miss her terribly. We always communicated by email and I could always count on her for encouragement. My thoughts and prayers are with her family. Please accept my heart-felt sympathy.

My sympathy is with her family. Arlene was always an inspiration to me. With her broad scope of interests, we enjoyed our term of leadership for the Clay County Garden Club years ago.

Letting Go - Hanging On Arlene Walker was a writing mentor, encourager, big sister, and fervent prayer warrior. At a writer's conference in 2006, I heard her laugh as she sat at the registration table. It wasn't until two years later that we actually met, but her energetic laugh made me think she was someone worth knowing. She was! Arlene had dreams to fulfill, poems to write, loved ones to pray for, devotionals to write, bulletin board ideas to send, Haiti stories to finish, family photos to scan, or cookies to bake and have on hand in the freezer. She was too busy with life to think much about death. That may be part of the reason it's hard to let go. She didn't give us much of a chance to prepare for her passing. Something tells me, though, she wouldn't have asked God for any other way. That makes it only a little easier to let go. How I already miss our no less than an hour- long phone visits, the fifteen-minute good-bye at the end of the conversation, and her laugh! As I let go of my selfish wish for her to still be here with us, I'm hanging on to those many precious memories we shared. And I'm so thankful to have found in her a faithful friend.

Carson and Barry, I have known your mom all my life and special memories of a beautiful birthday cake she made and a whole suitcase of doll clothes for my baby doll . I so enjoyed visiting with her at dad's service in November. My heart goes out to all of you, and sorry I will not be able to be there this weekend. Gods peace

I am so sorry to hear this news. I just had a visit with Arlene a few weeks ago.We were comparing surgery stories and she seemed fine. She gave me encourging words and told me to hang in there, cause God had good days ahead for me. She always was so positive and always had a smile on her face. My prayers are with you and your family at this time.

To Arlene's entire family, Shocked to hear this news. She was a very involved person....always busy writing. She dearly loved that part of her life. She talked about her gr. kids too and was definitely family oriented. It isn't easy loosing a Mother and sister. May God give you peace and strength in the difficult days ahead.

Arlene has been a real blessing to our writer's group, the Writing Academy. She has been an enthusiastic participant, always willing to help out--and she has served as our Vice-President. We have all been inspired by her energy and her Haiti mission and her love for the craft of writing. We love her dearly, and she will be greatly missed.

Arlene and my mother Velva Klinker lived across the street from each other in Hartley. They were good friends and Arlene often took her to the grocery store, Arlene also did an article about my mother's Santa Claus cups and year-round Christmas decorations. I also enjoyed visiting with her about her writing. We were once in a writing workshop together at the Lakeside Lab in Okoboji. My deepest sympathy for your loss. Be comforted knowing that sh14Pi
