But more than that, I remember witnessing her loving care of the fans she met as we travelled to South Carolina and other cities around the country. She delighted everyone with her humor, but especially with her kindness. Arleen was … a joy to be around. She has left a tremendous impact on this world …and on those of us fortunate enough to have known her. Rest easy, Arleen. Sending love to Arleen’s children and all who loved her.” Wally Kurth (Justin, DAYS; Ned, GH) shared, “I adored Arleen. I’m so sad to hear of her passing.
