Darlene's family and mine lived in the same neighborhood in the 1950s. I have fond memories of her as we kids played games, biked, slid down the riverbank, and as we became teens, participated in other fun and games. My mind holds a clear picture of her in her poodle skirt, bobby socks and saddle shoes. She was a small bundle, but a dynamite one!
My sincerest sympathy to her entire family.

To Ed and families, my sincere condolances. Darlene was a very special lady who took every thing as it came, both the good and the bad and ran with it. I remember her as a very hard worker who made the most out of every thing she could. She had a wonderful smile and a real way with plants and people. I am truly sorry to hear of your loss. May God grant you His peace at this time. Always cherish your many wonderful memories of her.
