God has definitely called home another Angel. To all of Darlene's family, i met your Mother and Father through Timmy and Pam Danos . After we first met i went to work at Walmart there your Mother took me under her wing , Darlene was one of the hardest workers i have ever met . After that we became really good friends she helped me through my husband having to go to dialysis. Though they didn't go to the same place she would always ask me how he was doing and i would ask her how she was. When my husband passed last January 2019 she always showed her concerns. My heart goes out to all of you because i know everyone has lost an amazingly wonderful person. Fly high my friend i will certainly miss you until we meet again. And make sure you tell my hubby how much i miss him and tell Roland hi.

Words are few, thoughts are deep,
memories of you we will always keep.

In tears we saw you suffer, we watched you fade away, our hearts were almost broken, you fought so hard to stay.

But when we saw you sleeping, so peaceful from the pain, we could not wish you back, to suffer once again.

We sat at your bedside our hearts were crushed and sore, we did our duty to the end 'til we could do no more.

Your presence we miss, your memory we treasure, loving you always, forgetting you never.

Sad are the hearts that love you, silently tears will fall, living our lives without you is the saddest part of all.

Our family chain is broken nothing feels the same.

But as God takes us one by one
our chain will link again.


Love and miss you so much mom.

Dear Maw,
You were always fun to be around and I loved when we use to play FarmVille together and look for football cards online every time I would visit. I still have my card books we printed and made together and will always keep it to remember you . Love you so much and hope you and paw are having a great time in heaven together again.
Love Hunter

I miss you terribly. I miss your jokes and laughter, and you had some good ones! You were the only one to give me guidance and advice. You dont have to worry about your kids. You and Roland raised them to be very responsible adults. Give Ro a hug and kiss for me. Save me a spot!
All my love

Dee!, I came into your family at seventeen years old. You treated me as if I was your own from day one! You showed me what family is all about. You gave me memories that will last a life time. I'm sad knowing your gone, but I know your no longer suffering. I know your glad to be up there with Head! Give him a hug for me! I hope to make y'all proud. Love you.

Mom, your wings were ready but my heart was not. There are no words to describe the pain I have felt since the day God called you home. I have felt so empty, so lost. I now cling to every memory and every good time. I will cherish all that you have taught me. You are terribly missed. I love you Mom.

welp.. this is the moment we all have been dreading and avoiding. my angel gained her wings. you are gone but you will never be forgotten all the memories together, laughs and smiles. TO things like waking up and laying down next to you, too riding ur scooter down the driveways and collecting pecans with you and we cant forget singing country music and dancing with you every morning because times like that were the absolute best. not only did you wake me up by telling me to get my fat a** up but you just made going to a new school ten times easier you were always there when we came home to talk and listen to and if you werent you made sure to write us notes. maw maw you really were my best friend. you were more than a regular grandma you were everything and more. ilove and miss you so much my angel rest easy❤

Maw, it's been a week now and it's just hitting me that you are gone. I can feel your absence more and more each day. It is hard to believe that you will never wake me up to country music or dance with me in the living room again. I miss you so much it hurts. I love you my crazy grandma.

Gabrielle Jackson

December 31, 2019

Maw, you've been gone for almost a week now and it hasn't hit me until today. I've started to feel your absence more and more and it is so hard to think that you will never wake me up with country music or dance with me in the living room again. I miss you so much it hurts . I love you my crazy grandma.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.
