My sweet sister Darlene, was 9 years old when I was born, she kept the home fires burning by taking care of daddy and 2 younger siblings, while our mother was in the hospital. She did not stop looking after me when I came home, she always took care of me in her own special way..
One of the things I always admired her about her was she did not speak ill of or talk behind someone's back! When she made a friend they were friends for life.
Another was her beauty, the way she took care of herself, dressed nice, perfect make-up, nails polished, never ever stuck-up and always had a very beautiful smile for anyone she encountered. Truly a remarkable loving person and I am and always have been proud to call her my SISTER also my best friend through thick and thin...yah, we had silly names we called each other just to laugh!
I have wonderful memories of us, I will miss her so much, but I am happy to know that she is in heaven reunited with all of our loved ones! R I P
I love you and God really blessed us with one the most loving and caring families ever!! Kisses are now under your wings since you don't have a pockets!
