Prayerful thoughts to Ralph and family. Having traveled many time with Darlene and Ralph to ski destinations, I got to know Darlene quite well. She was the jewel of our travel gang. Always the kindest person and would laugh ar our dumb jokes even not funny ones. I can't begin to tell how sad I was to hear the news. I pray the Lord has welcomed her home and will be standing there with a huge smile when we hopefully enter heaven. We all loved Darlene and had a grand respect for her conquering life's challenges. Putting up with us on ski trips was a real accomplishment. We loved you Darlene and we will share our continuing love with Ralph and sons. Prayers to you all and wishing Gods blessing on you all.

While words fail to capture the pain of losing a loved one, we can find comfort in the following promise of seeing our loved ones again become reality. For if we have faith that Jesus died and rose again, so too God will bring with him those who have fallen asleep in death through Jesus. ( 1 Thessalonians 4:14)
