Darla was one person in my life who I knew loved me. She had a sincere passion for me that endured my own understanding of friendship and love. I appreciated that. She was good company and we shared many good memories. She´s with our brother Eric now and she´s happy. I will forever miss my lady. She still visits me from time to time in dreams. I know her spirit and soul are safe in their new plane of existence. Her love lives on. Forever Darla Marie Lee.

Many caring thoughts and prayers go out to Darla's family. Such a loss for all of you, and for all of us at UVMC who appreciated her positive outlook and respected her many talents. Certainly the world was a better place with Darla in it. God called her too early, but as such a kind, joyful, caring women, she certainly is with His angels in Heaven.
