Darlene was my bff at West High. We were together almost everyday back then. As friends for over 20 years, we sure did share lots and lots of laughs! It’s an odd feeling not being able to reach out to chat about life, makeup and all the other random things we talked about. I really am going to miss you my friend! Sending my deepest condolences to the family.

Thought you were far we spoke often, I will miss laughing with you whether it be from CF post or the dumb things we see on social media. I will miss our conversations regarding raising boys, but I will also cherish the memories and am grateful I got to build that bond with you.
