Darla,
You know I think of you and talk to you often. You are my ghostbuster! Can you believe all the craziness that has been going on? I can just hear what you would say and it makes me laugh at it all. I miss your way of seeing the world and your inspiration to just let it slide. Please keep sending love our way and take care of all those I have told to meet up with you and the other angels because I know you are having a blast. Love you!
Amy

To D:
You were my sister and my soulmate (ha-ha!)--I will miss you always and forever. You were a sister to my bro & Holly and a second daughter to my parents. Everyone loved Darla! I know you are up there with your mom & G-mom looking down on us. You may never know how much you will be missed--I always told you about the attention you drew because of your magnetic spirit--but you never believed. Maybe now you will see--it is what it is! Love ya girl!
To Mr. Engle:
She loved you more than you will ever know. Believe that and that her faith has carried her to a better place! I am so sorry for your loss and pain. She was a beautiful and loving person who spread her kind words and spirit to all. Keep those memories close. Remembering her kindness and love is what is important now. Let's keep her spirit alive in our hearts!

Although it has been awhile since I've seen Darla, we always enjoyed her visits during the summer to Toms River. Darla will be missed by many, but I know that DeeDee, Mrs. Shiner, and my Mom are enjoying a pizza together special delivery from Schianno's.
Our thoughts are with you all,
Frank Fay and family

We knew Darla for only a little over a year, but in that year had many smiles and laughs together. You could not help but smile in her presence, because her smile and laughter was contagious.What a truly wonderful person who will be very missed. Heaven now has one more beautiful angel.

I always enjoyed visiting my mom at Wyncote because I knew Darla would be there to greet me with a smile and a funny story. She was part of the Wyncote family and she will be missed dearly.

Darla will be missed forever by our family. She will never be forgotten. I could not ask for a better aunt for Tricia and Zachary. We all loved her so much. She was a blessing to all of us, always with a smile and a kind word to say. Now, she is an angel above to watch over her family.

I am sitting here at school just waiting for her to bounce in the door with a story and that smile! I am so blessed to have known her! My son who loved Darla also said that she was like a sunshine always making him feel brighter and warm. Our Wyncote family is at such a loss for the words to express how much she was loved!!! The only thing that keeps playing in my head is what Darla would be saying...this is RIDICULOUS!!!!! I have the BEST picture of Darla and it is sitting behind me at my desk because she is giving me strength to smile amongst the tears!

Darla was my best friend for over 25 years, we met because of our uncles. We just celebrated our 32 birthdays together, they are only a day apart. I can't believe she is no longer with us, and that my son will never get the chance to know her, hear he laugh or be consumed by her love. She was not only my friend, she was my sister, and i miss her so much
