Ashley Arnold says
My grandma was and will always be an inspiration to me. She had the strongest faith in God and would never miss a Sunday service over the radio, when she became unable to attend church. She was a woman of few words but the silent strength she displayed will forever give me something to aspire to. She supported me through the hardest times in my life and never stopped loving me. Everyday of my grandmother’s life I know without a doubt she did the very best that she could. She forever changed me for the better, as I am sure many could say. My little gramma will always be in my heart and honored in my memories till the day I leave this world.

I can remember Bonnie and Ray when they first were married and lived north of Hinsdale, not far from my parents (Bob and Edith Arndt). Bonnie and Ray were wonderful neighbors to everyone living north of Hinsdale.
My thoughts and prayer to the Arnold family.

She was a good nurse aide
