Eugene "Gene", Greg, Jolene, and Dale,
You parents always made me feel welcome in their home. Your mom's laugh was contagious and it seemed like she loved to laugh! She will be greatly missed by the Youth Group who are still here until we get to see her again in Heaven along with other loved ones who have gone on before us. I hope each of you will take comfort in knowing that both she and your dad are alive and well in Heaven and are enjoying Jesus' promise of living with Him in Heaven for all eternity!

When we saw Darlene at Valley View we weren't just spending time with a resident, we were visiting a dear friend.

Myrna & family,
we are devastated at the loss of Darlene at Valley View. She was quite a gal and we will miss her terribly.
