It's been 15 years since you passed--just a few months after we danced at my wedding--but it feels like yesterday. My heart breaks for you and for the time we lost. I wish my girls could have known their Aunt Darcy. You would be so proud of them, and they would have loved you to the moon and back.

Because of the covid virus, I'm not having people here for Christmas so I didn't put up a tree; you and your clever personality and ornaments are still in my heart. I love and miss you so much.

Darci, just wanted you to know I am thinking of you today, as I always do at Christmas time, usually while I am wrapping gifts. Your laugh and spirit will always make me smile.

As I decorated the tree this year, I smiled as I unpacked and hung the beautiful, clever and fun ornaments that you gave to and received from the family. Your personality and sense of caring remain in our memories.
We love and miss you so much.

Dear Bogenreif Family and friends of Darci,
Heartfelt condolences for your loss. I kept wondering when I would hear from Darci but I never heard. Now I understand. You see my husband would speak of a lively and very fun person from his college days in Milwaukee. Her name was Darci. I think at one time her family had a heated driveway. Her friend, my husband, died in 2012. I will pray for Darci and Goob would want me to have Gregorian Masses said for her. Please God let their souls be joyful in Heaven with all the rest of our loved ones. Maranatha.

I missed you so much when I was putting ornaments on the tree this season. I treasure the ones you gave us and the ones we gave you...all with a bit of humor.
I miss you and love you so much as the New Year begins.
Please watch for Rich Maganini....you will enjoy him.
I'll be going to a visitation for him tomorrow, and thinking of both of you.
Can't wait to see all of you.

Oh,Darci…(as you told me when we met; “It's Darci – with an i”.)
We dated about 2 years, didn't we? Your senior year at UWM, and your first year at MU… I transferred to Stout your second year in Law school – and we eventually lost touch. Still remember the UW dorms – oh heavens! Many hours studying hard and playing hard like twenty-something's should do – Remember Brubakers? Oh, Brub's too many CMF's on Thursday night! Wow, the LSAT, getting in to MU (that's when you cut off the little braid in your hair!) and the house on Lake Drive is a memory, but never a distant one – what an amazing time we had. Oh, and that bastard landlord…And your room mate Jim - living in a closet! I remember your sister Lisa had the room next to yours on the 2nd floor.
Should we touch on Summerfest? How many years in a row did you go…Violent Femmes! Exhausted from dancing, hoarse from singing, and way too many beers! 4thof July sitting on the rocks looking up at the fireworks…unforgettable.
I see many of your friends have reached out to you – I have met them along the way as well…Maybe at the dorms,Ozaukee fair, Maxwell's or the WINERY! Did you, or did you not give the BEST winery tour? If I remember correctly, I was very proud to be dating the one time Strawberry Festive queen. What a hoot…
Do you remember the night I came for dinner with your family? Hidden Valley was a great house…You introduced your Dad to me as the guy that invented Lite beer…I was like, wow. Of course, all were wonderful… Raymond with his blond hair and devilish grim…Maggie (Margaret), Ethan and Lisa. I do remember a time we gave Ethan a ride somewhere – threw his bike in the back of my car and away we went.
And then…there was the Fiat convertible! Electric blue – and you taught yourself to drive a manual transmission! Remember how I used to say FIAT is an acronym for “Fix It Again Tony.”
You laughed and called me a little s***. Precious…

Oh, Lisa. Darcy was the best of the best.
As my older daughters are off in college, I often talk to them about MY amazing roommate, Darcy. The fun and laughs we had over the most ridiculous things. Darcy studied hard as well. Everything she did in life, she did with such confidence and vigor. She IS my strongest and happiest college dorm memory. I think of her and talk to my children about her all the time. It seems like only yesterday....

Hey Darc! The moon tonight is full and bright and we think of you often.
I was remembering the time I saw a picture of your attorney co-workers and as a joke I said you should frame the picture and put it on your wall. You responded quickly "yeah, right next to my velvet picture of dogs playing cards". You were so funny, best of the best.
Also thanks for all the donations you gave to the Humane Society. I will try to get your name on one of their donation bricks. Til we see each other again, Lisa

Miss Darcy, i still miss you so much that sometimes it feels like just yesterday you left us.
The smallest things will bring you back to me. I miss your silly infectious laugh, your hilarious 'gangsta' impression but mostly just your unfailing friendship. The babies and I get to reminiscing about you and each and everyone has a story to add.
Miss you most at Christmas - but the 4th of July is a close second.
You'd be so proud of "your babies" - they are getting so big. I think i'm doing a pretty good job "covering the heavy work" for ya (as you always said).
Found a card today that you had given me and just wanted to say hi and that we love and miss you!

Dear Darcy
There is not a day that goes by that we don't think about you or miss you. Every time something funny is said or done I try to think about how you would respond and make the situation even funnier. We have wonderful memories of you and love you very much.

Dear Darcy,
I will always remeber you and how your strength and drive inspired me.
We met at UWM, you were a senior and I was a junior and we were both majoring in psychology. We studied together at the library, at my place on Oakland, and at your place by St. Mary's Hill hospital.
After you graduated and began law school at Marquette, you still made time for me and I just loved all of your stories. Your house, which you shared with other Marquette law school students, was always so much fun. I have pictures of parties that I will always cherish.
A few memories... which may seem meaningless to some but are huge to me.....
You found this electric pink/purple lipstick made by Wet n' Wild, and wore it every day. You would put tons of gloss over it. I too wore it, after you introduced me to the best 99 cent lipstick ever.
Another memory for me is after you graduated and started attending Marquette, I think it was 1987-1988, you were determined to lose some weight. You chose to walk everywhere, and told me while you would walk you would think about a Big Mac, and then go home and have a salad. I thought that was so cool.
Years later after we lost touch, I called your mom and she gave me your new address in Chicago. We exchanged letters for a while, and on the return address label you would write "Habush, Habush, Davis, and Bogenrief". That makes me smile....
I could go on and on, but just wanted to tell you that I have wonderful memories of our friendship....heaven has truly gained a smart, kind, caring, special lady. Your memory will always make me smile....

To Ethan and the entire Bogenrief Family. I was shocked when I just learned of Darcy's passing. It seems like just yesterday when I saw her excitement and the twinkle in her eye after her first oral argument before the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals. She was a very special woman and will be very much missed by those who knew her.

Dear Darcy, I remember you from all those years ago. We shared laughs in high school, but weren't really close friends. I see your family has asked for donations to go to NAMI. I don't know if you battled with mental health issues, but I want you to know that I now do--my beautiful, treasured daughter, now almost 11, has bipolar, and struggles so hard every day. If you, too, struggled with this, then my heart is now with you and your family, for I now know the true toll that mental health issues take on families, and the lack of support there sometimes is.

What follows is my "Words of Remembrance" that I recited before Darcy's funeral mass. Several people have asked that I post them here for those who could not attend. Thank you for sharing your memories with us.
"I’m Ethan, Darcy’s brother. The outpouring of support my family has received raises our spirits and is a testament to the way Darcy’s larger-than-life personality touched every person she met.
It’s funny how certain situations lead us to reflect on our relationships with friends and family. Last May, as part of our Catholic Pre-Cana wedding class, Lara and I and the other students were asked to describe two of the most important episodes of our lives, aside from meeting our future spouses. For me, two came to mind immediately, and Darcy was the central character in both.
First, I thought about graduating from law school, and how I had decided to follow in my big sister’s footsteps by pursuing the profession. But more importantly I thought about how she rooted for me every step of the way, even if it looked like my accomplishments might rival hers.
When I told her I was applying to her alma mater, she simply replied “Well, that’s okay I guess, but you deserve better.” Darcy was a well of patient advice that I drew from constantly. She was as thrilled as I was when I got into my school of choice, and she insisted on tagging along when I visited the campus for the first time. She egged me on as we took silly pictures around campus, and the intimidation I had felt when we got to town just evaporated.
When the day came for me to don my cap and gown, Darcy was right there, showering me with kudos and laughing all day. At the reception, she joked how her black "power" suit resembled those worn by the wait staff. Always the nervy prankster, Darcy slipped behind one of the catering tables and promptly served me fruit punch and a chocolate brownie.
Darcy’s altruism for me, the rest of her family, and her friends was genuine and unmistakable, and I adored her for that. She inspired me to root for her, for Lisa, for Margaret, and for Raymond exactly the same way.
Second, I thought about a day many years before either of us even had thought about law school. I was 10, and Darcy was a senior in high school. We were sitting alone at the kitchen table and I had just told her that I might audition for the class play, something I’d never dared do before. Darcy absolutely shined in various saucy roles in high school theatrical productions, so naturally I sought her advice about a bit part I was after.
“No!” she bellowed, “You will NOT be Lab Assistant No. 4, you will star as the Electric Sunshine Man, Thomas Edison, himself!” She spent that night coaching me up to make it happen. It did. She coaxed me out of my shell, raised my sights, and instilled confidence in me. That tender encouragement was prelude to her support for me for the rest of her life.
Long before Darcy passed away, I was keenly aware of what a positive force she was in my life, and now that she is gone, her influence is even more profound.
Like anyone who suffers loss, I have looked for a sign to tell me that Darcy is at peace and that we all will be okay. I learned of Darcy’s passing on December 22, one of the shortest, darkest days on the calendar, which is symbolic to me because that day was the saddest of my life. But just as each day following the winter solstice sees a little more sunlight than the one before, I know that with time, everyone who knew Darcy will grow more at peace with losing her too soon.
The nights will grow longer and colder again next December, and I know my sadness will return as I think about how I miss my sister. But the lengthening and shortening of days reminds me that life is a series of meeting people and parting ways with them, and that what’s important is making the most of the time in between. So while today is pretty dark, we can take comfort in remembering how Darcy made our days a lot brighter."

Darcy has been in my thoughts daily,since hearing of her passing.I am just a few years older then her and remember cousin visits on the farm, that were fun and always looked forward to.The visits usually involved laughing and looking at all the farm animals.Lisa would usually tell a lively story involving her and Darcy and the cousins would be listening to every detail being entertained by every word.Fond memories.

"Our family appreciates the outpouring of support, sympathy, and great stories. Darcy knew many different people at various points in her life, and hearing from many of them has been a comfort.
I particularly miss Darcy, as we were very close in age and spent our youth side by side. Darcy wasn't just my sister, she was my first friend. She had a fun, gutsy attitude that led to great triumphs.. Every person who knew her can tell you an impressive or hilarious story. When I earned my pilot's license, Darcy volunteered to be my first willing passenger, which was just one example of her unwavering loyalty to and faith in her family. When I was in third grade I had a stack of animal cards that blew out of my hands while walking across N51st street. Darcy ran out into the intersection to help me collect them all, with traffic everywhere. We had such fun when we were little running through the sprinkler, playing with the family cat and dog , cheerleading , family vacations, and she taught me to drive stick shift. As we got older we shared college adventures, shopping, makeup and we got our motorcycle licenses together. She was the biggest cheerleader of our family My sister had a great sense of adventure and a love of her family that we dearly miss." WE LOVE YOU DARCY!!!! We morn the loss of all that could have been in the future.

Dear Bogenrief Family,
I was so very sorry to hear of Darcy's passing. She and I were classmates and in Swing Choir and several shows together at CHS. She was a very talented and vivacious person, and I know she will be sorely missed on this earth. Please accept my condolences, and know that you are in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time. I am so very sorry for your loss.

The news just took my breath away. It has been so many years since I last saw Darcy, Lisa, and the rest of the Bogenrief family. It has taken me by complete surprise to hear of her unexpected death. There are many fond memories of days gone by and time shared at CHS with the girls. The laughter, the jokes, the adolescence and yet it still seems like yesterday. It is amazing sometimes what life has in store for us. It is amazing how short it can be. Her accomplishments, maturity, beauty, and professionalism seem such a short time to enact on this world, such a short time to share with others and leave her footprint. My deepest sympathy to the family in this somehow unbelievable reality of life. It is with deep regret that I must forgo her Celebration of Life with the family on this sad day but my thoughts will be with you.

To the Bogenrief family, I am so very sorry to hear about Darcy, it was quite a shock when my parents gave me the news. I have so many great memories of Darcy from high school. She was one of my closest friends my junior and senior years. We kept in touch after college for a few years, and I regret that it stopped later on after I was married. She came to my wedding and had every guy looking her way, she looked fantastic! My prayers are with you at this very difficult time.

It doesn't seem real to me that Darcy is gone. My heart aches for your loss. I am grateful for the memories of our time together. When we were little you would visit our farm in Iowa in the fall. Uncle Ray and my dad and brother would go hunting and we would make our own fun on the farm. Darcy and Lisa were fascinated with the livestock and we were always either rescuing stray kittens or putting on "performances" for the family. I was older and therefore the director, Lisa would comply with my commands. But Darcy - she was the STAR! She always brought the crowd (cousins, aunts, and pets) to their knees with her antics. The world was Darcy's stage and she filled that world with joy. You are all in my heart tonight and always...

Dear Lisa and Family,
I was just at my parent's home visiting with my family and celebrating the year to come when I stumbled across the local paper and saw the shocking and sorrowful news that Darcy passed away. She was such a vibrant person. I will never forget how disappointed she and I were that we did not get the roles we wanted in Li'l Abner; we were made doctors!!!! She made that one of the best roles I've ever played since she convinced me that if we were going to be doctors, we would be the best doctors to grace CHS's stage!!!! Be it cheerleading, musicals, or just day-to-day life, Darcy always provided an energy that was contagious! My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family.

I went to grade school at St. Catherine's in Milwaukee and Lisa was my best friend then. Darcy and my sister Mary were also very close friends. I remember many happy times together...swimming at Dineen Park, walking to Capitol Court, singing, dancing, and many sleep overs at your home on 51st and Burleigh. I was saddened to hear about Darcy's passing and want to let Lisa and the rest of your family know that my prayers are with you. I will never forget those fun and happy times!

I am Michele Jackson-Bigelow, one of Darcy's many cousins from South Dakota. I am so srry for this loss. I have many fond memories of Darcy. Especially when she learned what farm life was like. She loved to help take care of the farm animals. We also had a lot of fun driving a go cart my brother made from and old riding lawn mower. She laughed and laughed when we hit a hay stack. I'll always remember her bright smile, kind eyes, and warm personality. I look forward to meeting Darcy in heaven when it's my time to go home. My thoughts and prayers are with all who love Darcy.

I am Michele Jackson-Bigelow, one of Darcy's many cousins from South Dakota. I have so many fond memories of the Bogenrief family holiday and summer visits. One memory about Darcy that brings a smile to my face is when I taught Darcy how to drive a go cart (a riding lawn mower modified). She laughed and laughed, especialy when we crashed into a haystack. Watching Darcy learn about farm life was comical too, she loved to help care for the farm animals. I'll always remember her bright smile, kind eyes, and warm personality. I'm looking forward to seeing Darcy in Heaven when it's my time to go home. My prayers and thoughts are with all who love and miss Darcy. Michele Bigelow-Jackson

I'm Michele, one of Darcy's many cousins in South Dakota. We had so much fun during summer visits, she learned what it was like to "be in the sticks", as she called it. I'll never forget the sunny days we spent as children playing on the family farm, she loved learning about all of the animals and how things work on a farm. The most fond memory I have is when I taught Darcy how to drive a go cart (an old lawn mower we modified). She laughed and laughed, especially when she crashed. I will always remember her smile, kind eyes, laughter, and warm personality. Her memory will always be in my heart, and we will meet again in heaven. My prayers are for all who love and mourn this loss.

Deloris, Ray, Lisa, Ethan, Margaret and Raymond,
Our entire family is so saddened by the loss of Darcy. We have many fond memories of Darcy and your family coming to visit. Words cannot express how my heart feels right now.
Know that you are in our thoughts and prayers. We are planning to visit Mom (Mary Ann)on Saturday and we will pray the rosary at 11 for Darcy and your family. I would like to pray the rosary in the Woonsocket church where Grandma spent so much time. I just want you to know that your family in South Dakota is thinking of you with heavy hearts at this time. We love you and extend our sympathy to you.

To Darcy's parents, Delores and Raymond - You might not remember me but I am Patti Milbauer's mom, Nancy. Our two daughters were great friends in high school and Darcy was at our house a lot. She was such a fun person to have around and oh so pretty! The last time we saw Darcy was 18 years ago at Patti's wedding - the room lit up when she walked in! I can't begin to know what an absolutely terrible thing this is that you are going through and I am so very sorry for you and your family. You will all certainly be in my thoughts and prayers. Perhaps just knowing that you now have your own personal angel up there watching over all of you will somehow help you at this difficult time.

To the Bogenrief Family, I am so sorry to hear of Darcy's death. She was in my high school class. Although we didn't know each other well, I worked with Lisa for a couple summers in college and Lisa and I became friends. Mr. Bogenrief, you gave me a ride home along with Lisa a couple times. Please know that God is close to the broken hearted. God Bless your family.

We at The Nick Carter Law Firm in Gillette, Wyoming, wish to extend our very deepest sympathy to Darcy's family. All of us absolutely adored Darc and her laugh was contagious. Darc truly touched each of us in her own special way. For me (Wendy), she was just a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. She was so proud of her little brother and sister, Lisa, and everytime I went to her house she pulled out her personal photo album and showed me pictures of them. We will all miss our Darc greatly. Heaven gained an angel. With our sincere love and prayers, Wendy, Shannon, Michelle, Steph, Jamie, Eric and Nick

My heart is sad and the world is quieter now without Darcy. She was my college room mate, my Padre Island Texas spring break partner, and best friend at UWM.
Her kind spirit and bigger than life personality full of laughs and smiles and 80's bracelets up her arm are memories I'll keep within me forever.
Rest in peace, Darcy! I love you!
