My wife Gail and I met Darlene for the first time at Heritage Court Apartments 20+ years ago . My mother-in-law was living in the same complex . Darlene and my wife Gail were friends from the start. Over the years our friendship grew so much that she was more like an important part of our family and we are very grateful to have had her in our lives . She was the best friend my wife Gail ever had so anyone could imagine when we learned about Darlene today ,January 5th,2019 ,My wife and I were in total shock .Darlene knew how much we loved her,and we are very thankful that we all had those very special years together and we are richer for it.Heaven has another very Special Angel .

So sorry to hear Darlene’s passing, she is now in heaven with her precious children ...prayers for family.

I met Darlene thru her sister Bonnie. She was a sweet lady. Sorry for your loss. God bless you all.



Jeri and family, I had the pleasure to get to know Darlene while we were both at Smithfield Manor...we had many long talks and she has been lifted from any burden that held her down, now she can see her beautiful girls again...prayers and admiration for you and your love for her.  God bless...Benny and Shiela Powell
