When I was with Darlene out having coffee or at her place with her and Lisa I felt like I was truly at home. She had a fun loving grandmotherly love about her and I enjoyed every time I got to be with her. Love and prayers to all the family, Sincerely Linda Reiter She will be greatly missed.

To the family of my Aunt Darlene, We were so sorry to hear the news. But so thankful that Echo was able to get in touch with us. I only had the chance to meet Aunt Darlene a couple of times on my life but in those occasions I knew that I was her niece and that she loved me and my brothers and sister. Most especially I knew how much she loved my Dad. I pray for your peace and strength in this sad time. I know that she is with Grandma and that she is out of pain and in peace. I pray that you all feel the peace of our Father in Heaven and know that he loves you. Love, Julie

My heartfelt sympathy goes out to all of you at this very difficult time. Darlene certainly was a very special lady. A character, to say the least. I got to know her through Justin & Lisa, my daughter. She will be missed by many and remembered fondly. She now breathes easily and is surrounded by beautiful gardens. I pray that your memories will help to bring you peace.
