Also, I would be there if I could, but we are
in Bandera, TX. But thinking of you….
Darlene, you and your family are in our prayers and thoughts. I remember the fun we had with your mom and dad when we were young
girls. She ALWAYS treated me like family and
ALWAYS had a beautiful smile on her face. She is now no longer suffering and is at rest. She loved her kids !!!!! I know she will be missed by you and many friends, but she is in Gods hands now. And you have all the wonderful memories.
