I am saddened and in shock! Darlene and I grew up together at Harvey´s Lake. We spent so much time together. She at my house swimming and me at her house singing. We lost touch but reconnected some years later. She sadly had too much tragedy in her life but always reached out to others in their time of need. We talked often through FB messenger. My sincere condolences to her family. She was a good friend.
