I knew Darlene from the nursing home. She was always a joy to be with.
It was a pleasure taking care of it mom.
Thinking of your family right now, and in the coming days. I too lost my mother this year. It’s a difficult void that tends to sneak up on you in the most trivial of times during the day. I never met your mother, but she sounds like very amazing woman. I’m so sorry for your loss, and I pray for healing in your family as you all grieve this loss.
My condolences to all the family. Aunt Darlene is a part of my childhood memories as my sister and I spent time in their home enjoying times with our cousins. I’ll always remember her trick of lying us on the ironing board in front of the kitchen sink to wash our hair…I thought that was cool. And, I loved her broccoli cheese soup!
I know she blessed and touched many lives. Love and prayers to all as you celebrate her life!
