Grandma, i miss you more and more everyday! i just wish you were here again, somedays it doesn't even seem like your gone. my mom is having a really hard time with this, she misses swinging with you in the summer. we sat on our swings last night and i sat in yours, and it was like you were still there. i miss your freshly baked cookies, and all the amazing food you used to make for the whole family for EVERY holiday, opey tried making your chocolate, the first couple times it didnt turn out, but then she got it, but i was still a little runny, my dad also tried baking cookies and burnt them the first time, then baked them a few days ago and they were good, but still not as good as yours. i hope you seen me get confirmed, i was thinking about you the whole time, paster and gloria even sang "Borning Cry" it was really pretty. i wish you could have been there. brantson is still just playing soccer all the time, he misses you too. Grandpa misses you all the time, we went to a concert in Warner, and they dedicated a song to you and it was really pretty, but im sure you heard it. then they gave grandpa the flower in memory of you! i gave out pink flowers to Kayla, Danny, Joseph, gilbert, and i kept one in memory of you. i also gave a really pretty pink on e to pastor in memory of you too. he liked it, we are always getting the church stuff that they wanted in memory of you, since thats what you wanted to do, same with Warner. somedays i just want to come over and sit and talk to you, but then i think again your not there, and its really hard to come to reality and know that your not here, i really miss you. im glad your cured now, and not in pain but i still really miss coming over for supper, cookies, and just plain coming over and visiting. everyone really misses you. oh yeah and by the way thanks for paying for part of my confirmation dress, grandpa said you helped, even though you couldnt really pay, thank you! im sure grandpa spends every night thinking about you, and wishing that you were still there, and so does everybody else, grandpa doesnt usually watch the news or anything anymore, i think its because you used to watch it with him, and he misses that time. it was so hard to watch you suffering in the hospital bed, but yet it was hard to watch you go. im glad your not in pain anymore though. oh and i also got a job at Jcpenney's, i know you used to shop there alot. i really like it there. Confirmation Verse: Love is patient, Love is kind, It does not envy, It does not boast, It is not Pround. Love NEVER fails! 1 Corinthians 13-4:8 i picked that out in memory of you grandma! i cant wait to be in heaven and see you again! neither can anyone else. we all miss you sooo sooo much!!! I cant wait to be a family again. Love Always,
Brittany

So sorry to learn of the passing of Darlys. Gary was in the Class of '59 with Darlys and has fond memories of times both while in school and also short visits during reunions. We both knew her and know how much you will miss her!
Our thoughts and prayers are with Darlys and you, the family she left behind.

We were so sorry to read that Darlys has passed away. We sat in front of her and her family at St.Paul's Lutheran church when we are in Aberdeen. We often spoke after church and Darlys seemed so up beat inspite of her going through so much. She was such a gracious lady and will be missed by all.
Sincerely, Elton and Pat Fors
