Darlene was the sweetest, kind, person I have ever met. I met her through NiSource. She was one of our security guards and we would talk about our grandchildren. She would always light up when speaking of them.
You all have my deepest sympathy on your huge loss. I will keep your family in my prayers, heaven has gained an angel.

Darlene Jolly was an incredible woman with a warm smile and a good word for everyone that crossed her path. She spent her work days helping keep employees safe at our campus in Merrillville. She is beloved by all of us and her smiling face will be sorely missed.

Godspeed Darlene, we have the watch.
