We share your pain and sorrow at the loss of a dear family member. Her friendliness and joyous spirit will be cherished forever by all who knew her. We are grateful for all that she did for so many. May God grant that her example will continue to inspire future generations within our family and beyond. Darlene was truly a wonderful addition to the Corprew family...she even favored the twins.
