I can´t believe it´s been 15 years since I last seen you. It seems like eternity, there are no words to tell you how my heart aches just to give you a hug and tell you I love you, or to just call you on the phone and hear your voice. I MISS AND LOVE YOU SO MUCH. When you had to go, you took a chunk of my heart with you, You left at just a young age of 52, so young. I hope to see you when it´s my time to go home to Heaven and be with all of the loved ones and our heavenly Lord. I miss you so very much . Tell mom I miss her like no words can very describe.

I just received word today about Darcy. I was shocked and saddened to hear the news. Eventhough we had lost touch, I still considered Darcy a dear friend. She was always doing something to make me laugh. I remember riding horses with her and all the little adventures we encountered along the way. Bill, Cori, Billy and Diane ....you guys are in my thoughts and prayers.

Darcy Lynn
On August tenth of two thousand and six, Darcy was here with our family mix, Now on August tenth of two thousand and seven, Darcy has left us and gone to Heaven, She is happily meeting with more family, She now has her Father and Mother to see. She's there with others we all hold dear, She's there with Jesus without a fear. She now has gone away from us all, I'm sure she was happy to see Uncle Paul. Oh what a great reunion there, When they all met on that golden stair. She fought so hard to stay with us, But she's happy now at home with Jesus. We did not choose to let her go, Because we all loved her so. We know she will never have any more pain, And one day we will all see her again. There again in that beautiful place, Where all is love and peace and grace. We let you go now -- Darcy Lynn, And one day in Heaven - we'll meet again. Aunt Margie. 8/10/07

To the Dennis Family, and to Diane and Danny and to all who knew and Loved Darcy:

These are the things that I will always remember about Darcy. She was a loving and cheerful person, always a preasure to be around and loveed to make people laugh and loved laugh herself. She was a very giving person who for many years her and Bill took in foster children and gave them a good home and and a loving atmosphere. I have know Darcy since I was a child myself. We would spend many Friday nights over at her house and on alternating weekends at my house while our parents played cards in the kitchen. Our families went camping together and this went on for years as we grew up. In later years as the family moved to Florida we only got together when the twins came back to town, usually at Margy's house for a reunion. We always enjoyed seeing you and Diane, you were always the life of the party. Darcy (Cuz) you have been a big part of my life and I am better for it. In later years in your life I noticed a difference in you and your walk with Christ. I know that someday I will see you again. Times like these can bring tears to your eyes and saddness in your heart, but for those that are left behind you can find Peace and comfort in His words that God Himself has prepared a place for us where there will be no more tears and no sorrow and no more pain. This is only temporary, what we have as life on this earth, what God has prepared for us will last an eternity, if we only believe in Him. And Darcy I know that you did Believe in Christ and that one day we will see you again .

Love Carl

I can recall Darcy (and her twin Diane) from my earliest childhood memories. I grew up with both of them in my life and feel blessed to have ever known Darcy. Darcy was one of the most giving people that I have ever met. My thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends as they grieve their loss.

Bill,Billy,Cori,Dianne,Danny,and Family, we are deeply sorry for the passing of Darcy. All of us have so many wonderful memories of her. I remember when we had went to Florida for a visit, & we were going to the beach, she wanted us to see the East & West coast while we were there. Well during one of those trips Darcy got her first speeding ticket. she tried & tried to talk her way out of it. it didn't work & we laughed & laughed about that. it took her till her mid thirties to get it. we all got up early one time because she wanted us to see the shuttle take off, they had trouble with it & it never happened but we still had fun. Everytime we were able to get to Florida Bill & Darcy opened there home to all of us. it never mattered how many there were. they always made room for each & everyone of us. even with all the foster kids they had. she will be Deeply missed by all who new & loved her. But I know she will be watching over everyone she loved so deeply.

I was saddened to receive a call from Dianne on Friday. My heart filled with sorrow. It's been 20 yrs that Dianne, Darcy and I became friends bound by our love of horses. I thought of you often and also kept you close to my thoughts and prayers over the past several years during your ups and downs with your health. As you look down upon us tonight, rest assured we are missing a very special person. One day we shall meet again and laugh as we always did together. Until that time.....we will miss you dearly.

I know how empty and sad your hearts are feeling at this time,Darcy will leave with you all as well as myself a void and aching that can never be filled in our hearts.I have been extra close to Darcy and Dianne since they were just Babys.Darcy had a smile and laugh that would brighten up a room.
She was a special joy to be around. I have missed the twins so much since they moved to Florida.I'am so happy that I have pictures and memories of the fun times Mom(Granny),Nancy and I had with her and Dianne when we visited them in Florida.We will all miss her deeply but we will all see her again some day.She is now home with Jesus,Uncle Earl,Aunt A.J. Doreen and her loved ones in heaven.and she is no longer suffering and in pain.God Bless and Comfort each of you as you go through this hard time of saying good-bye to someone loved so much. Love you Darcy and I will miss you very very much. Love your cousin Sherry.

There is never a "right" time to say good bye to our loved ones. We are never ready, no matter what the circumstances. But, we know for sure that she is at peace and that is a comfort to us all. I have only met her a few times, but, you can be assured that we enjoyed each other very much.

darcy sent me this picture of her and bill and all their grandkids she was so proud!

Bill,Billy,Cori and Dianne and famlies i am so sorry for the loss of such a great wife,mother,sister,grammy,aunt and friend...she was always so full of life and she let nothing hold her back not even her poor health...i have alot of good memories with darcy as a child and as i grew up...when her and her family moved from fort wayne, we all missed them so much but as i became an adult and had kids of my own we went to visit them in florida a few times and darcy would show us the best of times...and when she would come home to fort wayne we all could not get enough of her company...but the most inspiring memory of darcy would be her and my uncle being foster parents and how they were mom and dad to many children ...it was great....i could go on and on but i just want bill and billy and cori and dianne to know i love them and i am thinking about you all and darcy will be so greatly missed.

The world has lost a woman with a heart of gold. Darcy (Grammy, mom) will be missed. But, with sadness comes joy of her arrival in heaven. We pray for peace for the family and friends. Everytime we see a frog we will think of Darcy and her smile! And of course the laugh that is intoxicating! Love you Darcy!

I knew Darcy for several years as I have become close to her twin sister Dianne from working at Champs for the past seven years. I know this must be a hard time for Darcy's family, especially her twim sister, Dianne. I know they have spent the majority of their lives side by side and to lose your twin must be extremely difficult. The only good that came out of this is that Darcy is no longer suffering in pain, but for those who loved her I know this time is painful for them and I pray that with time their wounds will heal. God Bless Darcy and her family.

Sincerely,
Jill Harwood

I had the great pleasure of working with Darcy as a foster parent. I knew I could always count on her. Her love for children was so abundant and never ending. I will miss her greatly. Love to all her family and thank you for allowing her to help the children.

The Lord will lift you up and comfort you. You are not alone.
I never felt alone in the company of Darcy. She had a genuine sense of humor and entertained anyone she met. Her life was dedicated to the community in which she served and those she loved. I am a beeter person because I called Darcy my friend.
