Mrs. Collard was a wonderful woman. I had the pleasure of being in both her US History I and US History II classes during my studies at GCIT and she truely was a shining star in my eyes. Always caring about her students and always making others laugh. I don't know what most people would have done without her. She will be greatly missed and always in the hearts and minds of her students.

Jen, Carl and Meredith
There are people who come into your life and enrich your life by allowing themselves to travel along the journey with you - sharing in the good times and supporting you in the difficult times. Your parents became those people for us. We had so MANY good times and laughs, just thinking about them makes us smile.
We remember the agony your Dad suffered when your Mom was first diagnosed with lymphoma. We remember the strength, courage and deep faith your Mom exemplified as she went through her first battle,
then the loss of your Dad; and, finally, this last battle. Who else could have carried on with such grace, such fortitude AND that crazy sense of humor?
Please know that we shall treasure our moments with them always, and you have all our love and support. If and when you need us, "Just whistle"!

I have 3 memories that exemplify the person that Arlene was:
First is how much my son Mick admired and loved her as a teacher. When he was home visiting from college and learned that Arlene was going to be at our Caring Crafters group he came with me to see her. They sat huddled on the couch in the basement of First Presbyterian of Glassboro sharing memories from his years at GCIT. The most memorable being that he had dragged her on Space Mountain on senior class trip in Florida.
Second is that after a night of girls giggling and talking from a sleepover, my daughter Darcy and friends all got up on Sunday morning and went to church so that they could see Mrs. Collard. She had just retired and they were already missing her presence at GCIT. She touched each and every ?Seniorita?!!!
My last memory is of Arlene rushing over to my house one Sunday when she learned that my father was ill and not expected to live. She spoke words of comfort and prayer that came so naturally to her. She truly was a disciple of Christ who lived and breathed his teachings. Caring Crafters misses her closing prayers?

Arlene and I went to school together from grade school through High school, but she was my best friend in Junior High. I remember spending summer weekends with her and her family in their litte summer cabin on the Delaware in Milford, Pa. We swam in the crystal clear water, where you could see your feet through chest high water and took a rowboat out...what fun! When my father died when I was 16, Arlene was there to support me. When my husband died 3 months after Bob, we were reconnected like the years had never passed. I will always remember her great laugh and sense of humor..a little off center..that's what I loved! She was a good caring soul, great friend and teacher who made the world a better place for her having been here...she will be missed and loved, always.

My condolences are with your family. Mrs. Collard was my high school history teacher at GCIT from 1997-2001. She was a mentor both in and out of the classroom. Later on in college, I chose to major in history; much of that is because of her knowledge and compassion as an educator.

Dear Jen, Meridith and Carl
I was so sad for me to hear Carls voice on the phone the other day.
some how I just knew what he was going to tell me. Alvina Adams is my sister and we were together the 3 of us on the trip to Philli in the month of Aug. after your dad died. My sis and I made a special trip to visit your mom just for that reason and that was the last time I saw her but did communicate
via phone, cards and e-mail.
We have memories of the days in the country in St. James as very young kids visiting grandparents along w/ charles that I'll never forget.
I'm truely sad at the loss of your mother and my cousin.
Take care of one another. Blessings to all of you.
In love and prayers,
ELAINE MERE

As a member of Calvary's Women's Prayer Group, it was my great pleasure to come to know Arlene as a sweet, caring and very spritually endowed woman. Her strength and courage in dealing with her health issues were a great inspiration to me. I will miss her very much.

The first Sunday Arlene attended Calvary, I was seated next to her. We began talking, and she mentioned that she was interested in working at the Thrift Store. God's hand was already at work. Sitting on the other side of her was the Thrift Store director! Arlene was a faithful and valuable member of our Monday Night Ladies prayer group. We miss her.

I had the honor of having Mrs. Collard as my teacher at GCIT from 1999-2003. I have to say that she was a fantastic teacher who cared for her students on many levels, often acting as both a mentor and a friend as she seemingly made an effort to connect with her students rather than simply teach.

I had the distinct pleasure to begin working with Arlene at the evening school Adult High School at the Gloucester County Institute of Technology. We traveled from that assignment together to the day school program. In every formal and informal setting that I had the privilege of working with Arlene, she projected a tremendous confidence in all she did along with displaying an outstanding professional image. Added to that and as equally important, she loved to work with young adults and the compassion and patience she displayed to the students of GCIT is to be commended and was deeply appreciated. I will never forget all the assistance Arlene gave me during my career at GCIT and will eventually thank her again when I see her on the "Other Side."

Arlene and I have been friends since Junior High. We shared lockers in High School and were roommates at Glassboro. She has always been an inspiration to me. Whatever came at her, she took on with a "down to earth" approach. Over these past few years, she has faced life with a positive attitude, bolstered by her faith and her family. I'm proud to have been her friend and will miss her very much.

Arlene, I will miss terribly. I had the honor and pleasure of working with her at Gloucester County Institute of Technology. Her skill as a history teacher helped this "novice history teacher" tremendously. It was a career change for me although I was at GCIT for many years. Arlene was always there for me, my mentor. We had things in common, one both being born in NY and growing up in NJ and the desire to teach young adults. Arlene was a remarkable teacher and well deserved the honor of "Teacher of the Year". My sincerest & deepest sympathy to Meredith, Jennifer, Carl & Taylor.

Behind the quiet demeanor lies a woman of great strength and courage. Her love of God was shown through her service to her family and others. Her life here has been an inspiration to all of us. We will miss you.

Arlene joined our Bible study group and immediately made a place in our hearts. Her sweet nature, her thoughfulness, her wisdom, her friendliness, all made us feel as if we had known her for years. She kept a twinkle in her eye and a positive outlook despite her health issues. If she felt lousy, she never let on. She jumped right in to lead lessons and participate fully in whatever was going on. I will miss her greatly. I enjoyed her friendship and wanted to develop it over years to come....the good thing is, although we may grieve for her now, the time is coming when we'll be with her a lot longer than we'll be without her.

Dear Jen, Carl, Meredith, It is with great sadness and sorrow hearing of the passing of your Mother. It has been to many years since I saw your mom. We had a wonderful time going to Phili.

Dear Jen ... We were so saddened to hear about your mom's passing. We're sure this time is filled with many emotions. When Jeff's mom died it was both a time of profound sadness from the loss as well as a joy/relief that she was out of pain and with the Lord.
Please know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are confident that the Lord will meet you and Carl in a special way during this time.
We love you!

There are so many little things I remember, but especially the laughter. Keep your memories close. In time they will push away the pain and bring you comfort.
