Patsy and Family: We are sad to learn about Arnold. We are all a part of this big Pond Road family. I am so glad that I got to visit with the two of you a few weeks ago. He was talking about my daddy and how much we all missed him. Without fail, every time it would snow – Arnold would be up here to plow daddy’s drive…usually before the sun was up good! He knew if he didn’t, Clyde would be out clearing it with a shovel. Daddy loved and appreciated him for that. We all did! Thanks for these memories and Jarvis family you are very special to all of us.
Arnold was one of the great men that touched many lives during his time here. We should not be sad but rejoice that God gave yhis world a great man to leave an impression on this world. He never asked for anything that he was not willing to give. So to this I will say farewell to a good man.

I know your heart is 💔 but know that God has a plan and a reason for all he does. I send blessings, prayers, and love to you while you go through this. One thing you can rest assure that Arnold loved you til the end. Not many can say they have the love that you and him have and you should cherish that. I could only dream to have what you and Arnold have. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Love you Patsy
Arnold was a funny, very pleasant person to be around. I have many good memories of us growing up together.My thoughts and prayers go out to Pat and all the family. He will be greatly missed.
