My Aunt Darlene.  
I will forever miss you, and your always,  wonderful company.
One of my constants in life!
May you rest in peace. 
Until we meet again, my favorite aunt.

 Mom   -      Missing you.  You never said  I'm leaving,  you never  said goodbye.  You were gone  before  we knew  it and God only  knows  why. In life I loved you dearly, in death  I love you still. In my heart I hold  a place that only you can  fill. It broke my heart to  loose you  ,but  you  didn't  go  alone  . A part of me  went  with  you the  day  God took  you  home. 


Grandma,

I never really thanked you for who you were to me. I thought I’d have you forever, despite reality.

But you are so much more than I ever think you’d know. So much of who you are, has been with me as I’ve grown.

You were always kind and patient with me as I was growing up. Except that one time I spilled the coffee grounds from the measuring cup. 

But even then you didn’t raise your voice, you just told me to be careful in a way that was calm but stern. 
Hopefully as the years go on, that’s a trait that I too will learn. 

And though that’s important, my favorite parts of you, are probably things others didn’t see, things shared between just us two. 

“Do you want to stay up and look for bears?” I’d ask, from our windowed view. You’d happily agree, even though we’d see nothing more than a raccoon or two.

Summer evenings you’d water the lawn, I’d swing and listen to doves coo. Nights were spent watching scary movies, The Birds, and Deadly Invasion just to name a few. 

Peach cobblers and persimmon cookies, were some of our favorite treats. Word searches and crosswords you’d let me help complete.  

So thank you for being the best grandma you ever could be, I truly hope someday that I’ll get to be the grandma you were to me. 


My name is Mary Kathryn, I'm Darlene's cousin Patty Holland's daughter. I have the most fond memories of going to Darlene  and Donny"s house as I grew up  We were always so welcome and they were always in awe when we came, you see there were 11 of us kids , mama did the cooking, Darlene did the talking, dad and Donny watched westerns and us kids got to play with all the newest toys we only saw on TV, Deanna had them all! We all had so much fun so many laughs and stories to go around! I will miss you cousin Darlene, your smile, your stories, and your beautiful laugh, I love you! Praying for you Donny, Deanna and family!

Aunt Darlene was a kind, giving and sweet lady. I remember her visiting us with Deanne in Florida. She was a joy to be around. I have so many letters and cards from Aunt Darlene. I will miss hearing from her. Rest in Peace ♥️
