Tommy and Richard,
I was your parents neighbor for about 10 years. I thought so much of both of them. I'm sorry I didn't find out about Mrs. Darling's passing in time to come to the funeral home. Please know that I am thinking of your family and hope you find peace in knowing that she is now with your dad and God.
