It is an honor and a privilege to be able to tell you what an amazing person Darlene was. She was a loving wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, sister, and friend. She was always trying to help others no matter what it cost her. Her family was everything to her. Nothing made her happier than when her grandchildren would come to visit. She was the heart of our family and the loss is great. She would hate that her passing caused tears, but with a loss of such an amazing person, the tears must come. I know she is rejoicing in heaven right now and she is healthy and free from her earthly bonds and as she promised, watching out for us. We are thankful for our time with her and look forward to the day we can see her again. Until then, Darlene, we will carry you in our hearts and keep you with us always. We love you more than you could possibly know.

1 Corinthians 13:13

"And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
