Aunt Darlene, I remember visiting your home in Des Moines. You had those older sons that made me a bit afraid .... except for Johnny. Then there was Annette, whom was a teenager, and so much cooler than me! And there was that blind dog! I loved the way you ran that home.
It wasn't until I matured and myself faced the prospect of single parenting that I really appreciated your strength. When things got tough for me I always thought if Aunt Darlene could do it than so can I! You were an inspiration to me. I love your personality and quick wit! I'm sorry that my own health prevented me from visiting you in July. I wanted to tell you in person how much I admire you. But I know that you understand and now you will guard over me. I enjoyed watching the visit from Elvis! I know without a doubt that you, Pete, David and Neola are not "Lonesome Tonight" Rest in peace beautiful lady! All my love!
