Remembering all the good times that we enjoyed together and all the hardships which we supported each other through, you will be missed.
My friend, I love you and miss you so much. We had the best and most beach hours put in that no one can imagine!
My Best friend, I love you and miss you so very much. We lived at the beach! We did so much, there is not enough space to writ1e. I will treasure our friendship foreverā¤
God saw that she was getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
So He put His arms around her and
whispered "Come with Me."
With tearful eyes we watched her
suffer and saw her fade away.
Although we loved her dearly we
could not make her stay.
A loving heart stopped beating, hard
working hands to rest.
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the Best.
Rest in Peace Darlene
