Such a wonderful soul that passed on too soon. Thank you for being in my life, if only for a short time. I'm a better person for knowing you. Rest easy, Darlene. ❤
I miss you so much mom. I can't put into words the pain my heart feels. You taught me so much like how to be the light in the dark, how something's need no response, being kind to all, loving, brave, strong. I got the best parts of me from you! I love you and I know you are here in spirit. I have a long journey ahead. Love your daughter candi Ann.
I am so sorry for your loss. I only met Darlene a couple times but she was a very sweet lady. May she rest in peace!

I know you are with me in spirit. I love you. Your daughter candi Ann.
Darlene was my big sister. I will forever miss her zest for life. She was all about family and met no strangers. She had the most giving and loving heart and would give you the shirt off her back. She was beautiful inside and out. Now she's a beautiful angel watching over her beautiful daughters and grandchildren and the rest of her family. Our hearts are full of sadness right now, but also happy because you're in a better place. I love and miss you so much.
