Darlene,
I can't believe five years has gone by. So much has changed in five years. I was still a Stoddard five years ago! But I know with everything that has happened you have been watching every minute of it. I have a feeling you are who brought Jenny and I a little closer together over the years, and as I start to get teary eyed, I thank you for that. She always has been and always will be my BFF! ;-D
We were just talking about You today and your Corvette. I never knew you had one but I'm very jealous!!! And the day before I think I mentioned how embarrasing our Mother's were when they would take us to school and they would sing that oldies music out loud till we were ducking down deep into our seats. Times I would relive if I could! ;-)
With all of the new technology these days I wish there was a way to chat with you and all our other loved ones.
I miss you & I know Jenny misses you terribly. Please continue to watch over us, we need all the sunshine we can get!
Luv,

February 26, 2009

Darlene,
We all still think of you and miss you dearly everyday. Oh how we wish you were here with us. You would be so proud of Jenny and David. Things have changed so much while you have been on your journey but I know that you are with all of us everyday. Oh how we miss you.
We All Love You Dearly,
Corky

3 years! Wow. I still don't think the shock of you being gone has faded any! I hope you are doing well and please tell Grandpa Kerr Hello for me. I know you are looking down on us and still have that smile on your face. Please help us continue down the healing and happy road we are on. We still love you and continue to miss you much, that will never change!

Dear Darlene,



There are not many days go by that I don't think of you or your family. I can't believe you have been gone for over a year now. I miss your, and Donnie's Sunday get togethers for coffee. Things always seemed so happy for everyone then.



I miss you dearly.

Happy anniversary Darlene.



We miss you so very much.



Don't think of her as gone away

Her journey's just begun,

life holds so many facets

this earth is only one.

Just think of her as resting

from sorrow and the tears

in a place of warmth and comfort

where there are no days and years.

Think how she must be wishing

that we could know today,

how nothing but our sadness

can really pass away.

And think of her as living

in the hearts of those she touched

for nothing loved is ever lost

and she was loved so much.

A million times we've needed you,

A million times we've cried.

If love alone could've saved you,

You never would have died.

In life we loved you dearly,

In death we love you still.

It broke our hearts to lose you,

But you didn't go alone,

Part of us went with you,

The day God took you home.

We love you Darlene.

Donny,Jenny & David,

my thoughts and prayers are with you always. Darlene was not only a very special sister-in-law she was also a special friend and mentor. She always had a smile and kind word for everyone. Her greatest joy and pride in her life was her family, every time we went to the cabin she would always update us on Larry, Jenny and Mike and how the racing was going and what David was up to these days. I know we all will miss her more than words can express but I know that she will always be in our hearts and our memories. She was a special spirit and will be loved forever. I will miss you tons Darlene

Darlene,

We have had such wonderful times over the years. Thank You for being my Sister-in-Law. I still think of all the times we went hunting and the time you fell in the cactus bush. You have brought so much joy into the lives of everyone that met you. You will never be forgotten, but in our hearts forever.

Donny, Jenny and David,

I am so sorry to hear about Darlene. She is in my heart and so are you all. I can see her sweet smile in my mind and will always remember that smile. She and you Donny, raised some pretty special kids and I for one remember some good times and bad times we had with our two girls, (Char & Jenny), but they turned out just fine. Darlene always had a smile on her face and always helped our two girls thru their growing period. We will always remember her. She was a good friend and so much fun to be around. We love you all.

Darlene,

I have been so blessed to have such a wonderful friend like you. I will always remember the fun times we had, going up to memory grove, the skating rink, and dragging State Street. Keep on cruising and keep our seats warm until we can all cruise together again.



I love you,

Best friends forever,

Betty.

To the family of Darlene.

I'm sorry to hear about the loss of Darlene. We worked together at Skaggs, she started one day after I did but I feel like I've know her longer than 2 1/2 years. I use to tease her when she was working by hiding her shipping tools or switching her orders when she would box up the orders; she would just laugh. Darlene would always call me Tony Boy. I'm very sorry and I will miss working with her.

Though our family only knew Darlene for a short time she had a great effect and influence on us. She was like another grandma for our boys and will be greatly missed. We admire her loving and caring nature and her endless strength! She loved us from the day she met us - and we will miss her very much. We love you all and are here for you.

Dear Donnie, Jenny, David, and all the family of Darlene.



With the loss of Darlene, there has become a large emptiness in all of our hearts, and will be for a long time to come. She, as all of you have always made me feel like family, not just a friend. Her kindness, generosity, and love for all that walked through her door has always been a feeling of welcomeness. I will always treasure the fun times we have all had together. I will always remember her smile, and laughter she shared, and was so loved for. I will miss you greatly Darlene, but you will never, ever, be forgotten!

Love

Sam

Dear Family & Friends,

Darlene was my second mother growing up, and looking back no matter what us kids did, good or bad, and there were both! I only remember her always laughing at us. She is part of alot of memories in my life and I hate myself for not keeping in better touch with all of you. I am still in disbelief that she is gone. I have had a broken heart since I heard the news, the tears won't stop falling.

Jenny, I love you and I am so sorry from the bottom of my heart!

My mom was the best mom anyone could ever ask for, any time i needed her she was there for me, or anyone else. I have so many memories of her, its hard to choose, and thats what will keep me strong, my mom would not want to see anyone sad or hurt. I love her with all my heart, and she will be missed greatly. All my love, Jenny
