Butch and Family
You have lost a true Lady and Friend as have we. I feel what you feel when you lose someone so close. Your comfort today comes from each other and from friends but there is comfort from the Lord that only you can feel and through your faith you will find this comfort. We will miss her visits and miss her kind words she was always in a great humor with kind words for all. I cannot stress enough how much a person like her will be missed by all. Our prayers are with all of the family. Love to all

With much sympathy to the Wendorff family I send my condolences. Darlene was my good friend, mentor, right hand, and partner in crime for many years. She was the best example of how we should all live our lives. She was intelligent, wise, professional, humble and extremely dependable. While I'm feeling a huge loss and heavy heart, I take salice in knowing I have many happy memories I can keep close in my heart. AND in the bigger scheme of things we have another angel looking out for us now! For reasons unknown to us, God felt heaven needed another angel and I have to believe that's why he chose Darlene. Rest In Peace my good friend, will always hold you dear in my heart, and God speed to you till we meet one day again...
