I met Darlene in 2017 at the YMCA, Auburn Hills. I subbed for her aquatic's classes at times and learned a lot from her during those years at the YMCA. She had this amazing way of making everyone around her smile and her demeanor was just so calming all the time. The Pandemic split us up for a while but just last year we met again, but this time at the OPC of Rochester!! Such an AWESOME reunion to see her again. I will miss her dearly. I am so sorry for your loss.
