I will truly miss my friend and mentor. Darnetta was a wonderful person who was always willing to help anyone. She was so kind and generous that although some took her kindness for a weakness, she remained a true and loving person. She had a wonderful sense of humor and loved to laugh. I, like so many of her friends, are sad knowing that we didn't have a chance to say goodbye but I take solace in knowing that she is with the Lord laughing and smiling. Rest in Love & Peace Darnetta.
