I hope this message finds its way to you. It's been hard this week and I've thought of my buddy alot. I meant to send you all cards but have been very busy. I loved her so much. I found out Friday I am going to get a transfer to be near my daughter in Wisconsin soon. I am escaping. One of my first reactions was to call her....I have had this experience a few times over the past year. Today one year ago I lost a great friend. But I swear I have felt her presence during this process of getting out of the stress cheering me on. She would be se happy for me. I will never forget what she meant to myself and so many others. I do find comfort in how many people loved her and how she really knew how to enjoy life when she had the time. My thoughts and prayers go out to you all. Thank you Lori for the picture. She was one special lady.

I think of Darlene and I smile. She was always so honest with her thoughts and actions. She would say what was on her mind. She was a very good union member that was never scared to speak up. I believe anyone that ever met Darlene liked her. My sympathies go out to her family and all her friends for their loss and pray for their strength needed now. I will always think of Darlene and smile.

I did not know Darlene personally only as helping me with mail, she was always so nice and helpful but most of all I knew her as the proud mother and grandmother to JR and Garrett, she never hesitated to share pictures and events, last I saw her was in May as she helped I learned about how well Garrett was doing, what a great dad Jr had become and how precious Lori is as a mother and daughter in law, we also spoke about the zip line JR and Garrett was building together I could feel the love for her family as she spoke about each of you. I wanted to share this because to me she always shared love in her heart when speaking of her family, your Mother was very special, know that her kindness touched many people including myself.
My deepest sympathy JR,Lori,Garrett and Chase
Darlene's memory will live on in each of you.

My heartfelt sympathy to Darlene's family. Trips to the Holly Hill Post were like visiting close relatives.
She treated everyone like a neighbor, you couldn't leave the post without a smile.
There will never be another one like her, exceptionally professional yet generous to a fault.
Unforgettable woman, peace be unto her.

So sorry for Darlene's family. I was shocked and saddened when I went to the Post Office yesterday for my daily visit and heard this news. Darlene for many years has made a mundane daily visit to the post office something to look forward to. She always greeted us by name and made sure we always got the best of service with a smile, even when she was very busy and there by herself. A Great asset to the Post Office and a Great Loss to the Community. She will be Greatly missed.
