“Dear Arlene and family, I’m sorry to hear of Duane’s passing. I’ve always enjoyed being with the two of you over the last several years. Duane was obviously a fighter after his accident and a blessing you had him for as long as you did. Arlene, I’ve always been amazed how you handled life while taking such good care of Duane. Love to you and yours, Pat Himelick”
