Teddy, Timmy, Tracey & Dene,
Very sorry to read of your mom's passing. Darlyn had kept in touch with mom over the years & had just spoken to her this past January. They were going to try to get together for coffee or lunch, then mom took a turn for the worse & we lost her in March.
Having just gone through this with Mom I do understand, how you are feeling & wishing you had more time. I will always remember the many years you lived across the street from us & as kids we all played together or went to school together. Please know you are in our thoughts & prayers at this most difficult time. Darlyn will be greatly missed by all who knew & loved her.

Ted, Tim, Tracy and Dene'
You are all in my thoughts and prayers. I love Darlyn very dearly, and I know she is happy in heaven. I know how deeply she will be missed. It is so very difficult to lose your parents, nothing is ever quite the same again. "The Lord will give strength unto his people; the Lord will bless his people with peace." Psalm 29:11
I am wishing you the Lord's peace and strength.
With Love,
Leigh Ann Roberts

Teddy, Timmy, Tracey, & Dene, Thinking of all of you. My heart goes out to you all. I remember Darlyn as a very loving Mother. I still remember all of you as if it were yesterday,when you were young and we would come up to the cabin and have such a good time. I'm sorry I haven't seen any of you in so many years. Darlyn and I were best friends from the days of our meeting in cosmetology school and on through the days of our children being born. I'm so sorry to hear of her death and sorry I did not keep our friendship up. She was a wonderful person. Glenda LaPertche Cato, Jamestown, CA 95327
