We are so very sorry for your loss. I just visited with her last week in Shopko. We were laughing about her car alarm going off at 5 a.m. She was a sweet person. I only wish I would have gotten to know her better. She is with your mom and dad now. May you all have the peace of the Lord as you go through this difficult time. We will miss her.

I am so sorry for your loss…..she was a wondeful person…I saw her a couple months ago and was shocked to read this. We worked together years ago at JC Penney’s and I always considered her a friend. My prayers are with the family….I lost my son this past summer and can relate with you that it is not easy to lose a loved one and we will always be able to hold tight to the memories!

I’m so sorry to hear this sad news.
Judy Battershell says
I, too, worked with Arniel at Shopko; I was the jewelry specialist for 2 years. Arniel could tell great and funny stories about her family. We had some interesting times together with customers. She gave me my first ever promotion-from cashier to specialist and taught me many things about jewelry. Thinking of Arniel makes me smile. I am so sorry for your loss. Do her cats need a home? May God be with all of us at this time. God’s peace be with you now.

Arniel, today was the day we laid you to rest in White Sulpur Springs. This was one of the hardest and saddest days in my life. You are now in the hands of our lord, parents, grandparents and friends. I have found you looking down upon us in the stars above. You always had a star like shine in your eyes. I wil forever look up when I am lost, sad, or even looking for your one of a kind smile. I love you sis. I will pray for your safe journey and one day be sitting with you around the campfire in the sky with the rest of the family when god calls my name and takes me home. You are so young and the time you were here on earth was so short. GOD SPEED Arniel. I love and miss you dearly.
Love your brother, Ron Jr.
