Mel and the girls...I am so saddened by Arvella’s passing . We were part of a group that stayed together from kindergarten to graduation where she and I were two thirds of a trio that sang “Bless this house “. I am going through school pics and they elicit so many great memories. Arvella was always a kind and loyal friend. She will be remembered and missed by all who knew her. God’s blessings to you all.......Janice (Thibedeau) Knutson. - Posted by: Janice (Thibedeau) knutson (Friend) on: Oct 17, 2019

My fondest memory of Arvella was her being my typing teacher in school. Probably the most useful subject I was taught. Arvella was a good friend of my parents. They truly enjoyed the company of Mel and Arvella. Please accept my deepest condolence to Mel and his family. Kelly Sharpe - Posted by: Kelly Sharpe (Friend) on: Oct 17, 2019
