Darlene was such a sweet, kind and generous lady. She always made me feel welcome when I had the privilege of visiting with her. I remember her always happy and helpful in whatever needed done. I am sure she is having a joyous reunion with all who passed before her. Darlene will be missed by all who knew her, but I am happy that she is now at peace.
