I went to England, I happened to be there one the one year anniversary of you leaving us. I got to see where you spent the last year of your life and meet some of the people who were in your life. Lovely people, kind people. It made me happy, to share that part of your life. To meet them and see "your city."
I saw so many Egyptology exhibits and the British museum. I think they made me feel a little closer to you.

Dear Darcy, It has been just over one year since your death. One Year! So much has happened, and yet Mark and I have survived, but we miss you so unbearably at times! Mark, Nana, and I placed flowers on your trees at Springs with Sara and Rachel. Then Mark, Nana, and I sent balloons with messages on them up to you at my church where another tree has been planted in your memory. Did you see your balloons? They were lavendar with pink ribbons. My friend Anne Whalen gave me the gift of keeping this memorial page up longer, so I hope many more of your friends write stories, share memories, and add pictures to this page. I love knowing that your friends still think of you and want you to know we will never forget you. All my love to you Darcy! Forever from Mommy xoxoxo

Friends and family of Darcy.

I only had the priviledge and pleasure of knowing Darcy for a few short months while at Liverpool. The time I did spend with Darcy will always be cherished. I remember a time we were both asked to stand in front of the class and translate some hieroglyphs for Dr Enmarch. We both were clueless and just looked at each other with terror thinking how Dr Enmarch was going to go mental, however Darcy just laughed in the end and because her laugh was so infectious it brought the pair of us out of terror and into a better place. I know she will be up there smiling down on us all with that gorgeous smile. My thoughts are with your family and close friends who miss you like crazy. RIP angel and thankyou for the short time you were in my life.

Sweet, Beautiful, Precious Child- a void that will never be filled and will be with us til we meet again. Taken much too early from us, but we are forever thankful for the time our Father has shared you with us. The light of your families life with your locks of gold, you will shine upon them from above, forever watching and protecting, and always present. We love you Darcy, The Felsberg's, James, Lauren, Andie, & Jaims

Dear Cara, it saddens me to find such news of Darcy's passing. Although I only met her once at the age of 15, when you drove down to my wedding, my memory of her is sweet..her big beautiful smile when you introduced her. She was a very special young lady, especially because she is yours. Know that I am here for you if you should need me, and I am always your friend across these miles. Jackie and I are praying for you and your family, and for her. Love, Catherine

I'm so sorry for your loss Cara, David and Mark. I can't imagine how painful this is for you. Darcy was unique, and I'm so glad I chose to study at Liverpool University, as I got the chance to be best friends with such a wonderful, bright, and beautiful person. Darcy was the ray of sunshine in our little gang, always the loudest and always the funniest. She was and still is an inspiration to me. Brave, feisty, kind hearted and warm. And although it hurts so much that she is gone, we all know she wouldn't want us to be sad- she always wanted people to be happy. She proved that to me with her friendship time and time again. My favourite memories of her are the small simple things: the way she would get a hot drink from the canteen and usually always spill it or burn herself somehow. Or the way she would really listen when you told a story, and how she used to talk about TV shows we hadn't seen and list off characters as though she knew them personally.

She's changed my life, and I'll go on studying Egyptology and she'll be with me every step of the way. And as the Ancient Egyptians would say Darcy, 'maa kheru'.

What a beautiful young lady, daughter, sister, gone far too soon. My heart is breaking for you and your family. I remember her as a precious baby playing in the sand on the beach.
We are thinking of you and sending prayers for strength to you, David and Marc.

I was so saddened to hear of Darcy's passing. I remember her smile when I cared for her as a child, and I send prayers of love, strength and peace to her precious family, Cara, David and Marc. May her light shine down on you always.

I so loved being a part of Darcy's life as I entertained at her and her friends' birthday parties. Remember when I was Dorothy from "The Wizard of Oz," and Barbie? And do you remember when I taught you girls to Hula and to Belly dance, and we laughed and had so much fun? The last time I saw all of you, I was reading Tarot cards for you. Cara, you are a great mother, and I am so sorry I can't attend the memorial tomorrow. When you are ready, call me, and I will gift you with a reading. Darcy has a lot to say, and if ever I was grateful for my gift of mediumship, it is now. All my love and prayers are going out to you and yours. Darcy has found a place where there isn't any trouble, and that place is far, far, away -- over the rainbow...

So saddened to hear of the passing of your baby girl, Darcy. This has to be the most heart wrenching. We want you to know that our thoughts and prayers go out to all of you at this difficult time.

I think of you every day, Darcy.
This still doesn't feel real, every day I wake up and wonder if perhaps it was a nightmare. I could write pages and pages on here because there is so much that I want to say. I wish I could make things better, for me, for MC, for your family, for everyone. I wish there was something more that I could have done for you. I don't think I ever told you how proud I was of you for going to Liverpool, you were so brave.
Even though you are not here with us, you will never be gone. You continue to teach me things... some are things about myself. I realize I do not have the courage that you had, it's something I will work on and always think of you when I'm scared.
I love you Darce.

Dear Darcy, This is mommy, MC said she had a dream of you reading FB, so if by the craziest of chance you can read this, I miss you so much. Sometimes, I can't even breathe cause it hurts so much that you are gone. I will never understand and I miss your voice so much, but I can't call you anymore. Everyone told us what a nice service it was. MC sang so beautifully! Sarah helped me with so much, I just couldn't have done it without their help! I picked out your new dress that you were so excited to wear, I just couldn't stand the thought of you never being able to wear it at least once because you were so excited to wear it. Sam would have said you looked so beautiful in your new dress. I will miss you so much when I fly to MAN and you won't be there to meet me on the layover. Mark misses you too, he is trying so hard to be brave and strong for me, but he misses you so much already! I will try to keep the birdfeeder filled for the birds for you. I know you would want me to do that. And I really hope Jack is with you in Heaven. He will make you laugh he is such a silly dog! Love, mommy

Darcy was the centre of my life this last year and her passing still seems impossible. Wherever she is now i hope with all my heart that she is happy and looked after. She loved her family and friends most of all, so somehow for her we must learn to live with what has happened, she would want us to be happy. Darcy, i miss you.

Oh, Cara, I remember the last time I saw Darcy at the hospital and I remember how wonderful she treated her Papa. I wish I could have spent more time with her. I feel so much pain for all of you. Her memory will bring you consolation and strengh...we will all keep her in our minds and in our hearts forever.

Everytime I think of Darcy's passing I find myself feeling that it can't really be true. She was just starting her independent life and all this is so very unfair. Cara, you are a very stong person, but you are also a mother and I know that this is too much for the strongest person. I am so sad for the grief you and your family are feeling and I pray that sweet memories of Darcy will help ease some of the pain of your tremendous loss.
Love and prayers, Jill, Steve, Stephen & Kristin

I still can't find the words to express the sadness that I feel. Cara, my heart aches for you right now. I have this empty feeling everytime I think about Darcy. I start to think back to Melissa & Darcy playing as children and then the tears start. I know there is nothing I or anyone can say that can ease your grief, but just know that you, Darcy, David and Marc are in my prayers. Know that you are loved and Darcy was loved very much. She was your bright star, now she shines in the sky.
