Arlene Earl,"The Flower Lady"
I think anyone on or around the Great Lakes knows Arlene Earl, "The Flower Lady". Arlene recently lost the love of her life, husband , Dick. She is still trying to get thru the loving loss. Now to add agony to the situation, she has been diagnosed with breast cancer, being treated in Detroit with a doctor she feels very comfortable with her current situation. For all ships passing her home on Harsens Island, you'll notice the ribbons secured at the edge of the property. Arlene WILL NOT accept any sympathy, but would love your positive thoughts and prayers for her support getting thru this current situation.
