I'm so sorry to hear about Aunt Darlene. She was such a good friend and sister to Mom (Aunt Dorothy). Mom is really going to miss her.
Aunt Darlene and all of you have been blessed with many years together. I hope as you look back on her life, you'll smile about all the wonderful times you shared with her. Those great times will be the part of her that will live in your hearts forever. I too have many fond memories of her.
Wish that I could be there for the funeral...sending all of you hugs.
