4 years now you have been gone and 4 years I have been alone. Time has flown and life has shown me what it would be like without you here. I love you more and more with every passing day dear. I have learned to walk this world as you did with no fear but for you I still shed a tear.

Wow a year almost has past and man it's gone by so fast. I am being strong every day knowing your angelic spirit is leading my way. I know you hear me from sun up to sun down as you were always the talk of the town. So dear mother as you walk through the valley of heavens gates just know you will always be one of the greats. As the 14th of July rolls near I will always hold you close to my heart dear.
Love and miss you nikki

I met Darlene when she started attending and then joined North Broadway United Methodist Church in fall 2017. She also joined our Wednesday night class. She was eager to learn. She talked about her understanding of God and we did our best to show God's love to her and help her to understand that God was always with her especially in her daily challenges. She loved to read Scripture out loud and we asked her to read it to us whenever possible. She talked about her mother and expressed that despite some painful aspects of their relationship that she very much loved her mother. She also mentioned her children and grandchildren often, showing they were never far from her mind and heart. She had a strong desire to be useful. She came to a lunch after the Sunday service and kept saying that she had to help in some way even though everything was ready. She volunteered at New Life Community Outreach, at the Church for All People and at another service organization the name of which I don't recall. We, her church family, tried to watch out for her, to help her when possible and we tried to bring her some peace. Knowing her has changed us for the better and she is missed.
