Will be in thoughts and prayers
Your light will continue to shine in the hearts of those that you touched with your smile, your kindness, and your laughter. Fly high, the angels are your guide.
Darlene was my best friend in school. We had some really good times together, I always enjoyed spending the night with Darlene or having a sleep over at my house. We grew apart and life happens. But I was able to connect with her for a little while. Darlene helped me when I found out that I had cancer, she was able to answer a lot of my questions that I had, she always seemed to know when I needed a pick me up, she would send me a little something on Facebook or thru messenger, Darlene I will miss, God Bless to her Family and all those that loved her!!!!!
I was privileged to know Darlene when she was the office manager at Piggly Wiggly in Winona. She was so excited when she was finally able to be a mom. Great memories of that
I know if anyone is in Heaven it is my dear friend Darlene.
