Grandma...... it’s been almost 4 years since you past. I..... we miss you so much. It’s been hard. No one is the same. A large part of grandpa died with you. Greg hasn’t been the same. Uncle brad is never gonna be the same again. My mom is a completely different person. Mayme is as more distant than she used to be. to be honest you dying destroyed me. I miss you and wish you were still here
Mom, Its still seems unreal that your gone, I miss you so much. You were always there to listen when I just need someone to listen to me. We didn't always see eye to eye but that never changed the fact that you loved me... Well yesterday was the C word that I really highly dislike now but it was an ok day. We played Mexican train with Aunt Val and Uncle Larry and Aunt Val cooked it was yummy. Mom I Love You and am finding it hard to move on without you.... My heart still feels like its in pieces, You left us so suddenly I feel like you where robbed from us, I know it was Gods timing but I'm having trouble with that. I know your with Jesus, Papa, Grandma Carr, Gary Pearson, Aunt Shirley, Uncle Arron.

My love Darlene,
Why did you have to go and die?
I don't want to have to say goodbye.
God must have thought you were special to take you away,
but couldn't he have waited for another day?
God's looking after you now,
High, high up in the sky.
Up there where all the angels lie
I miss your voice.
I miss your smile,
Your eyes, your touch
Your smell, And your comforting ways.
I never got a chance to say goodbye
And now when I think of you all I do is cry
The things you taught me the world will never know
You taught me strength, you taught me courage
You taught me love and gave me knowledge
You made me smile when the tears poured down
But for the rest of my life I will always love you

Darlene was so kind to me and made me smile. Making me feel welcome and loved. Having a Big Heart that was so full and ready to care about others. So supportive when support was needed. I will miss her and cannot wait to see her in heaven.
Darlene was one of the people who reached out to me when I was a new christian and new to New Hope, She would always pull me aside and see how I was doing and if I missed a service she would give me that look and ask why I was not there. She always made an effort to get and keep up to date on my updated information. I love her very much and I am so grateful that the Lord Blessed me with the chance to know Darlene. I love her so much and will always miss her!!!
