My deepest sympathy to all of you. I worked with Darlene @ Air Wisconsin, she was a wonderful lady and lots of fun to be around. Tim and my daughter Staci were classmates. Find comfort in the fact that she is now at peace.

We got to know you and Darlene more by waving in church at Shepherd of the Hills. Then we both had grandsons named Grayson. Truly a wonderful and heartwarming person. Our deepest sympathy to you, Hank and the boys and their wives and families. Also deepest sympathy to the Thiels and the Sommers.
