"In my father's house are many room, I am going there to prepare a place for you." John 14:2



This passage makes me feel that is what your mother, Trudy, is doing for you Darlene.

Through your eyes I always seen your mother. Your spicey & rebellious personality reminded me so much of Trudy.

Your beautiful smile, the way you used to make us all laugh reminded me of my beautiful sister. I was truly blessed to have been named your Godmother.

Alicia, I know how much your mother Darlene loved you. She loved you as much as her mother loved and cherished her.

Just remember, Alicia, we are your family and we love you very deeply.

Darlene, you will be dearly missed and never forgotten in our hearts.



Love you always and forever,

Aunt Tina

I knew Darlene when we were young, as we ran, jumped and played. As we got older , we moved away from each other and started our own families. I wish that we could have stayed closer because she was always a special person.

Darlene was my mother and best friend and I cant believe that she's gone. I love her so much and I cant express the feelings that I have. My mother could make anyone smile and brighten up anyones day... including mine. I miss her terribly and I just know that she is now my guardian angel. for everyone that has met my mom you are the people that were blessed but for those who havent you missed out on meeting the most fantastic person in the world. I love you mom and I miss you always.

I had the privlige of meeting Darlene back in August of this year. I only spent a few hours with her, but in that time I met a wonderful woman. She was a beautiful person inside and out. I met Darlene at Roseville VW. She was buying a Cabrio for her daughter. She had both her little angels with her. They,like their mother, were very sweet. All of us at Roseville VW are very sorry for your loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Especially to her two little ones. Your mommy is now an angel in Heaven as she was on earth.
