We are so sorry to learn of Darlene’s passing. She was so good to our family. I believe that she was one of the hardest working people that we have ever known. Just last week we were talking about her and how we missed seeing her. Our condolences to her family. Cindy and Brad

So sad to hear of Darlene’s passing. My condolences to all the family. I had the pleasure of first meeting Darlene when I was just a young girl, then later babysat her well behaved children for her occasionally. She will be missed by many. Sending thoughts & Prayers Wendy
