Dean Lantz and family I have many fond memories of Arlene. She poured into me as a child. I could clearly see her love for the Lord. Arlene was there for me during my younger days when I needed her most. Such a caring, sweet lady. I remember fun times our families got together when I was a kid. We will all miss her. But heaven just gained a beautiful soul. She is smiling down on each of you. God bless the entire Lantz family. Fondly, Kent Wetkowski and family

I am so sorry to hear of Alreen's passing. It hurts my heart to think of the pain you all must be going through but especially Dean. I'll never forget her raident smile or her contagious laugh. I'll never forget her she was one in a million! I'll keep a part of her with me always and you too Dean! My birdhouse is my keepsake and I think of you both often! Much love to all of you. You all were truly an amazing family abd even if she couldn't tell you I hope that every smile and laugh let you know!!

To Dean and children, I was very saddened to hear that Arleen passed away this past weekend. I have such fond memories of both of you when you worked with my dad at Superior Dental Lab. She was a kind lady and I am sure she will be missed by all who loved her. I sincerely hope that all your good memories will replace the sad ones you feel today. May she live in all of your hearts forever, just like my dad lives in mine. Colette Poole Wismer

Dear Dean, Debbie, (and family), I was sad to read that Arleene had died. I know she’s been taken to heaven, is in pure joy, and that you’ll all meet again but...yes, these last months have been difficult. I appreciate your friendship. We had a bond with our family members that might not be readily understood by others. I looked forward to seeing both of you and Arleene when I went to Woodland Terrace. I’ve got to tell you one thing that brings a real smile to my face. A boy of about 3 or 4 was at WT visiting his grandparent sometime in February. Some of the residents were maybe a little annoyed with him. He was a bit active and had a block in his hand he was using as a “tool.” He was drawn to Arleene and her wheelchair. She let him pretend her wheelchair was broken and he attempted to fix it with his tool. Arleene was so patient and kind to the little guy and both were grinning. That’s how I’ll remember your Arleene. With sincere sympathy, Sue Jewell (and Steve too)

Arleen lived across the the street from our farm and I spent some of my formative years in my childhood playing with the Lantz children. Many a time I spent the night st the Lantz home. I ate with them and interacted in many personal family moments . Arleen acted as a second mother to me; I can still remember when she had to pick out some impediment that had gotten into my eye while playing in their yard. She was a good and nurturing person and will be missed. To Dean, Debbie, Becky, Danny and David: My sincerest condolences at this time of loss. Jon Lentz
