Aunt Arleen combined a cool elegance with a fiery spirit that ensconced us in a protective circle where we we felt seen as our best selves. She was there when you needed a pep talk filled with hyperbolic praise, or a reminder of what you needed to do better. I am grateful to have been her niece foe 15 years, and will hear her voice when I need to be lifted up or pointed in the right direction. May martinis be served properly and real music played for you eternally, dear Aunt Arleen.
