I was just informed of Darline's (or Mrs. Martell as she was to me) passing and I am so saddened by this news. I first met Darline as my Pre-School teacher in Dalton in 1981. Years later I got to know her much better through her son, Rod. She was a genuine class act and I can only imagine how much Art & her sons & grandchildren must miss her. My prayers of comfort are with you all.

Words seem so trite at this time but in my heart I know that Darlene is now in her new body, residing with the King of Kings and although she has gone before us, she will be waiting when it is our turn to go home and be with the Lord. Until then, our prayers for the entire family are constantly being sent up. May God give you that peace that surpasses all understanding in knowing Darlene is with him now. I know you will all miss her and our most heartfelt sympathies are with you. With all our love,

We are so sorry to hear about the loss of your Wife, Mother, & Grandma. We feel honored to have known such a special person. I remember how she loved our boys, and oh how they loved her. (she said Joel looked just like rod when he was little). And how Jase and Cory learned that they must somehow be related because Jase's grandma's last name was Eberle also. What fond memories we have. May your memories help you through the rough days ahead. You are in our thoughts and prayers.
