Darla Elizabeth Dillard Ralston

My dear Darla, A Gem,Ccaring, and Loving Person My special friend who we spent hours side by side working and communicating about our families. We laughed each morning when you arrived to work asking if your phone had wrong; this was to see if the school had called about your beloved sons, Alan and Greg who were in the 10th grade and loved to prank people. My heart was broken when you passed, for you were more than a friend but like a sister. The many trips I've made to your gravesite each...

To the Family and Friends of Darla,
No words can express the sense of loss we feel for the untimely passing of Darla. Darla was an inspiration to me and others whom she came in contact. Although I will miss her warm smile and gentle conversations, the love she shone upon me will always remain in my heart. May the love of God be with you always.

I, too, met Darla through her work at NGA. She was a dynamo! Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.

I had the privilege of getting to know and work with Darla when NGA held their annual meeting two years ago in Indianapolis. She made sure everything ran smoothly and without her we would not have been as successful as we were. There was no task too big or too hard for Darla. Whatever she was doing she always had a smile on her face and took time to say hello or help you. On behalf of Team Indiana, I just want to tell her friends and family how glad we were to know her. We are thinking about...

We love and miss you Darla!!!

Love,

Gregg, Dana, and Christian Marsh

Dear Families and Friends of Darla,
We are all saddened by the untimely passing of Darla. She was a joy to know and work with and we will treasure our many memories of her. She is a model for us all in her strong, unfailing faith and her sweet and joyful disposition.
Peace and Grace to you all.

Darla was such a lovely person and so enjoyable to work with during the planning for Seattle NGA. She told great stories about her twins and was just a delight to talk with. I will miss her kind and giving spirit.

Saying goodbye to Darla was a difficult task. She was loved by so many. The family remains in my thoughts and prayers. Each day will get a little easier, but your love for her will grow stronger. Keep her close to your hearts.

My thoughts and prayers are with Darla’s family and friends during this difficult time. Although I just met Darla last fall she holds a special place in my heart, she was a courageous lady. Take time to enjoy your memories of our dear friend.
