I loved Darlene, we went to nacac together and graduated together. We studied together and had our picture taken together. She was a great friend and study partner. She helped me do and be better. I found her to be very intelligent. She didn't have anything bad to say about anyone and had a smile often. She loved her family. I'm soo sorry for your loss. Besides her being a beautiful women outside she was beautiful inside as well. Hopefully you can remember all the wonderful memories you've...
