Kaye Michele Darling

I went to school with Kaye at North High and in junior high. She was my first crush and I remember her fondly to this day. We would occasionally meet in playground at elementary school near her mother's antique store in Clintonville to talk.

Just stopping by to say I spent a moment thinking about you today. You were one of the most influential people in my life. Thank you, Darling. You are missed.

Farewell Mrs. Darling. You are an amazing person who I will never forget! Truly a great artist and wonderful teacher.-Stephanie Linn-student

Gazing upon her peaceful face last night brought back so many fond memories, most notably spending most of my 18th birthday in her living room putting together an art portfolio for my college application. She was much more than a teacher to her students. She brought people together over her passion for art. She inspired them to create. She gave them the confidence to explore their talents. She challenged them to do more; to be more. I will never forget her lessons or that jovial laugh, often...

I had the honor of working with Michele at the Eastland career center for a couple of years. She had the radiance of an angel, the patience of a saint and the energy and vigor of a storm! She was beautiful in every way! My heart goes out to her family and friends.

Though no amount of words seem sufficient to express our condolences, please allow the promise Jesus made at Luke 23:43 to comfort you.

So very sad to hear of the passing of Kaye. We went to North high school together and had wonderful times, Kaye was fun, happy and sweet, she will be thought of fondly by so many. My thoughts and prayers are with all her family
