Not sure what to say?

Darlene, as our younger first cousin, I know there were things you would talk to Peaches and me about. So, when you called, I knew we would talk for a while. I will miss your laughter, your inquisitiveness, and the way the rhythm of your speech reminded me of your mom--Auntie Doris. You will truly be missed. Until we meet again, rest in peace in The Father's House.

Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death, so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope. For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring those who have fallen asleep in him.. 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

Will miss you very much. Love you!!

Darlene C Watson was my Aunt I loved her so very much, and she loved me too so very much I will miss her smile, her laugh, her comfort, and her support. I don’t care what went on my aunt was always a loving, caring, person. She has a special love for children, she loved with her heartShe didn’t play when it comes to making sure it was time to take care of business she was always on point when it comes to business taking care of, she definitely don’t play when it comes to family, because she...

I loved you before you were born, I asked to christen you the night your mother and father were married and they both agreed. We didn’t talk often but when we did it was for hours. I was there for graduation from college making all kinds of noise which embarrassed you until you found out who it was, your 50th birthday party was a blast and I was and will always be proud of you. I love you and will miss you forever. Rest my Love in the arms of the Master.
Your Nanny CarolynHowell
