Dear Paul:
I just learned of Darleen's death from mutual friends today. I am truly saddened and shocked by her passing, and my thoughts are with you and the family at this time. Both of you gave me my start, and I will always have that time at Powers and Company to remember. I will miss Darleen. All my thoughts and prayers to you.

Sincerely,
Robert Anderson

My heartfelt sympathy to husband Paul and Darleen's loved ones. I did not know Darleen, but greatly admire Paul Johnson who is a very fine architect. It is crystal clear that he loved his wife to pieces and did all he could to care for her. He bragged about the "lioness" in his life mightily! I am indeed the less fortunate not to have had a chance to know Darleen, but her influence on the design and color scheme of the recently renovated Mason Pool in Roxbury is very apparent and downright fun.
