Nila, I'm so sorry for your loss. My prayers are with you and your family. I will really miss Darlene. I really liked working with her. I also enjoyed spending time with her when we were on lunches and breaks. I really missed talking to her at work. I know that she will always be with us in our hearts and minds. I also know that we will see her again someday.

Aunt Darlene, I remember you for taking care of us, your niece and two nephews, when you lived near the Potomac River. Catching eels, and having them for breakfast! Then you drove us home in the morning, and on the radio played, "Just Call Me Angel of the Morning." She was an angel. And I will always miss her. So loving, so forgiving. A True Angel. I Will Always Remember You. Niece, Darlene.
