My deapest sympathy to the family of Darlene. The night i spent out in Madison at the sleepover was awesome. Darlene made breakfast for all of us before we left. Such a gracious and thoughtful host. You will truly be missed. At home with dad now God bless all of you.
Darlene was a former coworker of mine at Steris. Her nickname was gama. We kept in touch through Facebook since. Sorry and shocked to her of her passing.
I am so sorry for everyone's loss. It is so sad and shocking! Way too young, Darlene was the backbone of the family, and kept it together. She touched so many lives and was an influence among many. I can't imagine what her family is going thru. Darlene was the perfect nana and she will truly be missed. So sorry!!
So very sorry for your family's loss of this dear woman…
I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult times for a family to go through. I hope you find comfort in the resurrection promise at Acts 24:15. There we are promised to see our loved ones again. Won't it be wonderful to see that time come true?
I want to say one thing I love u grandma / manna I miss u
Condolences to your family from ours!
