My deepest sympathy to the family. I don't know what to share other than I was her Maid of Honor in her 22 years of marriage. I lost touch with my friend. I dreamed about that 'Maid of honor glass' last night. I just found out today. She found me.... Stay strong and God bless.

Mike,Ruth,Patty and Sonny...I am so sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.   Fayne and Dolly

Dear Mike,Brent and Bryan,
I just learned of Darlene's passing. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you. I worked with Darlene at Keystone and always admired what a strong and courageous woman she was. We always had a great time at the bloodbank together. Remember always how much she loved all of you and how proud she was of her Boys. God now has another very Special Angel in Heaven!
Love,
Stan and Vicki, Shannon(Chubb), Evan and Ryan Brown

We are sending thoughts and prayers to all of Darlene's loved ones. May you truly experience God's peace throughout the days and weeks to come. Darlene was one of the strongest women we have ever met. She lived a  dedicated and committed life...always putting Christ, family, friends, and  community above herself. Even when the most difficult times of her illness surfaced, she expressed a genuine interest and concern for others. She was a beautiful woman whom we are so happy to have had the pleasure of knowing so well. Try to rest and take comfort in the wonderful memories you  have and the assurance of Darlene's home in Heaven! We love you all!!
