Darlene wanted to share, “ If you don’t know the Lord, as Savior for remission of sin, don’t let it be said, “ Too Late I Never Knew You”. Where will you spend eternity, with the Angels in Heaven or the Demons in Hell? You are only ONE HEART BEAT away from death” Church was a large part of my life.
