Mamaw, we all miss you dearly. It's hard to accept that I can no longer come and visit and chat with you or get a hug whenever I want to. I will never forget your kind heart and how dearly you loved your family. One of the last things you said to me was how you had such a beautiful family. You were a huge part of making us who we are. Love you and miss you. Please say hi to my momma for us.

She was my Mom I couldn't have asked for a better mother. Mom, I love you dearly. While I know you are no longer suffering and your Quality of life will no longer stink. You were such an upbeat lady. You taught me so very much. I am forever grateful for that. I hope you know how much you meant to me. I hope you will watch over us especially dad. I love you mom... may you rest in peace

Darlene and Dale were the best neighbors we had on Stratford Dr. They were extremely kind and friendly and would do anything for anyone. Our family was truly blessed to have had such fine friends living next door. I join my son in expressing our condolences to Dale and Bob for the loss of their wife and mother. It is a painful time but, in time, the Lord will bless them with His mercy and compassion. HE always does. May Darlene rest in peace and may the family find healing in their time of need. God Bless
