"What I am feeling right now is hard to put into words." Mrs. Darlene was one of the most caring people I had the honor to know for the last 25 years. She always told me what I needed to hear. I will miss her beyond measure. Rest is peace Mrs. Darlene. Loved you like a MOM!

Mrs. Darlene was a kind and generous woman who often sent brownies and other sweets to me by my wife. She was thoughtful of other people and loved her Kentucky teams. It was a better world with her in it and she will missed. R Miller
