I send my love to Wayne, Gary, Cody and the rest of Arveda´s family!
I´ve known Arveda many years. My youngest son was friends with her grandson Cody.
Arvada was a fun lovely woman. I also cleaned for her and Wayne for many years. I had a lot of fun, Arvada wasn´t your typical older lady! With a gleam in her eye, baked goodies in her counter and many stories told, she kept you laughing with her clever wit and she kept you satisfied from hunger with her wonderful baked goods too!
God bless Wayne as he protected her and loved her like the jewel she truly was!
What a loss she is to all those who knew and loved Arveda!
Much love,
Lydia
