So sorry to hear of your passing Arabella, I truly enjoyed your company during the home visits. I loved your stories you would share with me about your childhood, your trips to Ute Mountain Casino for your native food. God bless you, you will be missed but you lived a good life in the end. Jasper and your cat will miss you very much. Rest in peace...

Arabella:
It was a shock to hear of your passing. I will always remember the visits I made to your home and the stories you told me. You had a great sense of humor as well. I will miss seeing you at the Bear Dance & Powwows and even at the grocery stores.
You have lived such a long life and a good one at that! Rest in Peace my good friend and Elder. May the Creator surround you with Love, Peace & Happiness.
