I came to this page so many times, and still, no words.  A friend once told me that if there are no words, you're not meant to say anything.  You affected so many people in so many good ways, and may those good things and memories see them through.  Your leaving hurts.  It wasn't supposed to be this way, but your 3 beautiful children tell me differently.  You and Dave did good, be proud.  

Dave, it saddened me to hear of Darlene's passing.  Our condolences to you and the kids.

Danielle and Wayne

My sincerely condolences to Darlenes children, I knew your mom in junior high school and I remember her kind smile and heart. I wanted to provide a small poem which I hope provides some comfort to Darlenes family and friends.
The tide recedes but leaves behind bright seashells on the sand.
The sun goes down, but gentle warmth still lingers on the land.
The music stops, and yet it echoes on in sweet refrains..
For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains.

Darlene is remembered by my family as a vibrantly energetic bundle of warmth and beauty. We enjoyed many happy occasions of celebration when we were much younger in our teens. Her creativity and spontaneity and bubbly personality made her a hit always. We wish her peace and send our condolences to her children and husband. Donna Bekkers-Boyd (Manotick, Ontario)

I remember Darlene from our days at Girl Guides.  She was a dear soul and my best friend during those years.  Her passing will be felt by many.

Beautiful photo of a beautiful lady who I unfortunately had lost touch with, we shared the same birthdate, were roommates and vacationed together back in our teenage years. She was a free spirit who enjoyed life and shared her laughs along the way. My sympathies for her family and friends left behind.

To a beautiful person. Thank you for all your kindness. Thank you for my most beloved Kyle, Josh and Holly. Please say hi to Mom and Dad in heaven.

So sorry to hear of Darlene's passing. Darlene was one of our coworkers and always had a smile and something nice to say. Rest in Peace, Darlene.
