Sandy, Jen and Heather,
I'm so sorry to hear this heartbreaking news. I remember when Darla was little and her beautiful smile. I hurt for how you must feel, you are in mine and my families thoughts....Many blessings to help you through this difficult time.

Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trust in God; trust also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am. You know the way to the place where I am going. (John 14:1-4)
You live in the hearts you leave behind, my friend. Rest in peace.

Darla
So Many tears have been shed :( u will be missed. We hope u and ur baby are at rest. Hopefully u r looking down at everyone to c all the love u gave and the impact u had on so many. Thanks for all the chats with jenna. She always commented on how much she loved u and how easy u were to talk to. Thanks for that!!! Daughters can't always talk to their moms at her age. I was so looking forward to you having ur baby:( one never thought.
Sorry we couldn't attend the services , we were on vacation. Heard it was a packed house , never expected less!!!
Guess jenna will never learn to do her eyes:( she could never pull it off as good as u anyways:)
We will miss u but never forget u. Hopefully Greg will get tazi back...he needs some company. Thinking of your families to. God bless.

Darla, my sweet, bubbly wine rep,

Darla,
To be around your spirits' exhuberance and incredibly uplifting energy, was a blessing for me at the end of any given day. Within seconds of just being around you...one's emotional loads could be eased tremendously and completely soothed by your love of life and people. We will carry forward your memory and in your honor...will attempt to try daily...to spread the love and comfort you so naturally gave to all of us. Until we meet again...Peace.

Darla had amazing energy and an infectious smile. I knew her for many years but I have not seen her for some time. I have fond memories of hot summer days swimming in the pool, playing soccer or just running around like kids do. I pray that she and her baby are together in a place of peace in the kingdom of heaven. I pray that her family and friends find peace in the memory of her life and love. Darla you are going to be so greatly missed because you are so greatly loved. Rest in peace.

I met Darla through my brother, Richard and his friend,Mark when I would meet them at Capelini's. She really was a shining light and I will never forget her smile and how her happiness always became infectious. She is truly a person who crossed my path in life that I will never forget. My prayers and tears in my heart are with you Darla, and your loved ones.

I will always remember Darla as one of my favorite people ever. Her constant smiling, friendly and nonjudgmental advice, and genuine interest and care for others were all traits that Darla shared with everyone she came in contact with. Our thoughts are with Darla's family and friends; we will all truly miss her. May she rest in peace.

My thoughts and prayers are with Darla and Greg's family. I will always have great memories of Darla from school, church, youthgroup, and evan a very bad Sonny and Cher impression of "I got you babe". I haven't seen her in years but I will always remember her as that free spirit who did things her way and was quick to smile. Darla will be missed.

I am heartbroken over this terrible, shocking loss for all of us who knew and loved Darla, but most especially for Greg and both of their families.
For me, Tuesdays will never be the same, for that is the day my friend Jason and I went to hang out every week with Darla as she worked behind the bar at Capellini's and then at 231.
I don't think I'll ever stop missing my wonderful friend. Darla was patient to a fault (even when I couldn't decide what to order), and always put her whole heart into whatever she believed in. Her smile and her sparkling eyes drew you in and won you over almost immediately.
My heartfelt condolences to Greg and the rest of Darla's family. Know that Darla was loved by so many of us and that we're thinking of you.

I'm so very sorry to hear of this tragedy. I met Darla years ago at her uncle's place in San Mateo. Loved her for her eye make up, her wonderful spirit, her ability to connect with people and her smarts. I'm happy to have a memory of her spending a long evening at my home one 4th of July years ago. She added much spunk to that gathering. Requiescat in Pace, Darla.

Greg, Doug, and the rest of Darla's family - our heartfelt sympathy. We met Darla recently at her work, and our love of animals bonded us immediately. She loved her dogs, and we swapped animal stories and photos (ours the blind tabby). She was excited about her pregnancy as were we. We loved her spirit. We loved her love of animals. We loved Darla. She made the world a better place and we will miss her sorely. Peace. Lisa & Steve Brown
