Mercer Island I am the coordinator of the Mercer Island Business Women's Networking group of which Arden was a member. She was a great asset to our group and will be missed dearly by all. Arden was a beautiful woman inside and out.
Both my husband (he had the priveledge of meeting her on several occasions) and my thoughts and prayers go out to the family. Special hugs and prayers for Lucas.
May our Lord's blessings and peace be upon you all.

West Seattle I am one of many who wrote to say, "I only met Arden once..." It was easy to see her fierce love for Lucas and the spark of her nature. I have thought of her since, as so many others obviously did after an intital meeting. I see now we were born the same month of the same year.
Lucas, your mother is a special lady. She will always be with you.

Pullman, WA Today I was able to visit A Sacred Moment for the first time. As I read the loving and caring thoughts from so many of you, a candle has been lit in my heart. Arden would have been amazed at the outpouring of love and generosity from so many whose lives she shared throughout the years as well as those lives who briefly, brushed against hers. I can hear her saying "Mom, you won't believe all those people who love me!"
Yes, we all do love you, and always will.

Mercer Island, Washington Arden was a very special person; I had just recently met her at a Mercer Island Women's Business Networking event and Arden was so gracious as to inquire about my green business. We had planned to get together at a fundraising event, but she had to cancel in order to help with a school event that needed help and she was there. I did not get to know her well, but it was clear that her heart was kind and caring. God bless!

Tacoma Although I only met Arden by chance on a summer evening, I knew there was something special about her, a once in a lifetime personality. I was shocked and sadened by the news of her passing just a day after we had planed to spend time at the beach with our sons. You will be forever missed.

Seattle, WA Arden and I were roommates at Western freshman year. We lost touch after school, but I was not surprised at the wonderful woman and mother she turned out to be, She was caring and compassionate and I will always smile when I think of her. What a wonderful legacy she has left behind.

Seattle Arden, you will be missed by those near and far to you. Having met you through preschool where Lucas and Nathin were together, you touched the lives of so many while you were there. Your presence was always felt and you were always so willing to help. The "bus stop/rain shelter" you made for the school will always be a memory of who you were and the giving nature of your soul. Our thoughts and prayers go to Jeff, Lucas and the entire family.

Mercer Island I was so terribly shocked to hear this tragic news. I met Arden about a year ago at the Mercer Island Business Womens Networking group. Arden was a special lady, always positive and with a big smile on her face. I am still in shock at this news, what a sad loss for us all.
I can't imagine how difficult this is for Lucas and all of Arden's family and friends. Please know that my thoughts and prayers are with you all at this incredibly difficult time.

West Seattle I only knew Arden at Gatewood elementary as Zara was in Lucas' kintergarten class. I was always happy to see her because she was such a positive person with answers to any question I had.
I am shocked and terribly saddened to hear of her passing.
The love she had for Lucas was easily seen and felt by anyone who saw them together. She was patient and kind to all of the kids and adults she came into contact with.
I was looking forward to seeing her at school next year and all the following years the kids will know each other. I also hoped to know her better.
We are thinking of you Jeffrey and Lucas

Seattle, WA Arden, I met you through Women Business Owners and while we only knew each other in those rooms, you were simply YOU - always ready to share, always ready to listen, always ready with a genuine smile. I was so impressed by your ability to be so grounded and so REAL - because frankly you looked like a million bucks! My last conversation with you - so candid and self-aware - reminded me of the sincerity you showed in your everday actions and words. You will be so missed by the women of this organization as well as by all whom had the good fortune to know you.
Lucas, I'll bet you miss your mom terribly, and you will always miss her - but know that while she was on this earth, you were her Number One. And now she's proudly and lovingly watching over you, and always will be.
