Darci was the kind of friend everyone dreams of having: kind, loving, devoted, generous, concerned, joyful. Darci was my best friend. She touched my life so deeply that it is very hard to go on without her to talk to every day, to share everything worth sharing. She lives on through the many people whose lives she touched. She is always in my heart.

Wishing we had been closer, I will never forget that she always smiled. She was a do-er and a mover and a shaker, always on the go always had a hand for someone who needed it. She was a very very special person to more than a few lucky people blessed enough to get to know her.

Aunt Darci, you will be missed greatly but will never be far from our thoughts. I know you will still guide those who seek guidance, still love those who love you and most of all, still be smiling.

My dear sister will be so missed. I will always feel her love and she will always feel mine. As we said so may times to each other "Sisters are Forever" and we meant it with every breath. You are a very special amazing person and more importantly a very special sister to me. I am lucky to have had you as a sister. I love you, Darci.
