Darlene Wilson

This is an extremely belated condolence message, and I do hope it finds Darlene's family. Darlene was one of my best childhood friends. We met when my sister and I joined Powers Dance Studio. I simply adored Darlene. She used to come to Middletown to visit her grandmother, but invariably we ended up somewhere (either in the side yard outside her grandma's condo or in my living room) choreographing one dance or another! I absolutely remember all these years later some of the songs we chose...

Dear Matt,
Rich, Shari, Marc, Jamie and I just heard about Darlene. Although we have not been in touch recently we are all grieving her loss. Shari says Darlene was her inspiration for dance. And she did it with the same heart Darlene did. Jamie and Marc are so sorry and can't believe their Scatamachina is gone. Rich and I are here for you, remembering your early days with Dar. Please know you're in our thoughts and prayers. We will attend Tuesday's Memorial service.
Lovingly, The Saks'

When I first met Darlene as she put me into Sunset Boulevard I was so struck by how I had met the kindest person in the world. Then I was blessed again to be a part of the Side Show family with her. She radiated love and light and everyone who was touched by her is very lucky. I hope her family can find comfort in knowing that light will never go away.

With Love,

Kristen Behrendt

Scott,

I just read the newspaper article about Darlene, which was sent to me by my mother. I am so terribly sorry for your loss. I can only imagine how difficult it must be for you and your family. I remember how close you and Darlene were in high school and what a wonderful relationship the two of you had. Darlene always had such grace and poise, your family should be proud of the impact she has had on others. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

I am so sorry for your loss,
The news of Darlene's passing has shocked and sadden me. She was such a beautiful and special person. I was lucky enough to work with her on a number of shows. She will be missed.
My prayers are with you.

My Deepest and Heartfelt Sympathy to the Family.
I attended Wallkill Schools with Darlene and she was always a fun-loving and happy person.
With Sincere Sympathy,

My deepest sympathy to the family of Darlene Wilson. Although we haven't been in touch in recent years, our memories of the past are
very vivid. Darlene has given her family so many beautiful memories.
We hope these will help sustain them during the painful days ahead
until "they are together again."

My thoughts, prayers and heartfelt sympathy goes out to Darlene's entire family. I knew her as a young child as we grew up near each other on Mt. View Ave and I was a friend to her sister Michelle.

DEAREST JULIE, MATT, MICHELLE, AND SCOTT,
I COULDN'T STAY, BUT I WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL SERVICE.
I SENT THE BOOK LAST WEEK HAVING NO IDEA TODAY WOULD COME SO SOON. I JUST WANT TO SAY THAT I FEEL LIKE I MISSED OUT ON A TREMENDOUS OPPORTUNITY IN LIFE, AND THAT WAS TO KNOW DARLENE BETTER THAN I DID. I'VE ALWAYS ADMIRED HER SO MUCH, AND TODAY SHE WAS A HUGE INSPIRATION TO ME.
I BELIEVE IN HEAVEN, AND I KNOW SHE IS WITH ALL OF OUR ANGELS UP THERE. I REMEMBER...
