Poem written by Dena Arvay daughter in law:

The night called out in an unexpected twist. Your name was brought up, as Heaven gained another soul last night. We tried to hold onto belief and prayed for a healing intervention. Unfortunately it was not to be. You will be remembered in our hearts and thoughts, as we continue on with life here on earth. You see all the things that Heaven has to declare. As the great cloud of witnesses, gains another praying soul. We know you are watching over us in peace, although deaths sting doesn’t hurt any less. We love you John Arvay Sr. We will carry what memories we have and try to think of only the good ones. We know you are at peace, with Jesus and we will miss you severely. With love we say goodbye. May peace come as the silence seems to take over. We love you with all our hearts. Gone but never forgotten.
