Darlene Miller Obituary

Hey Pamela , it is Jason Brown the security guard that used to work at Myco in Rockford, IL , I'm really sorry to hear about your mom :( I ran into someone who used to work for you guys at Austin News and he told me , I have been crying thinking about all the times we all had together when I used to work security and all the times I came in on my days of just to see you all and do what I could to help, I can close my eyes and picture us all there and all the good times and laughs we had, she was a great person , it's just hard to believe she is gone. I will miss her a lot. I know we have grown apart through the years but I have always missed you both and thought about you both a lot, I thought of you both as great friends and still do and that never will change. My heart goes out to you and your family and I want you all to know I am thinking about you all and will keep you in my prayers. Look me up if you want so we can talk and look back on old times. I miss you and will miss your mom a whole lot.

Hey Ma its me Courtney I miss you so much I LOVE YOU

Come to me

God saw you getting tired
and a cure was not to be,
so he put his arms around you,
and whispered “Come to me.”

With tearful eyes we watched you,
and saw you pass away.
Although we loved you dearly,
we could not make you stay.

A golden heart stopped beating,
hard working hands at rest,
God broke our hearts to prove to us
He only takes the best.

Darlene's memorial service is now over, an overflow turnout of friends and family, the flowers, the photos, some laughs, some tears, the recollections of a remarkable person, and a life ended far too soon. Her earthly remains may soon be cast into the waters off of Key West Florida, but her love, her spirit, and our unique personal bond, shall live on forever deep within my heart..

Our hearts will be with you and the family tonight Dar. You now can find peace, and embrace your eternal life! This is not good-bye....till we meet again! Hugs, Larry & Mary

It seems that I have known you forever,
although it was for such a short time
but I felt that I was a welcome part
of your family.
You were always a pleasure to be around
and a great, great Sox fan.You will be
missed....Jim Mck

Very sad when someone so young and so loved dies. My condolences to all family members and friends. - John Wagner (Lisle

THE BROKEN CHAIN

We little knew the day that

God was going to call your name,

In life we loved you dearly,

in death we do the same.



It broke our hearts to lose you,

but in God we put our trust,

In times as difficult as this,

faith is such a must.



You left us peaceful memories,

your love is still our guide,

And though we cannot see you,

you are always at our side.



Our family chain is broken,

and nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one,

the chain will link again.

--Ron Tranmer

Forever in our hearts!

Dar was a good person that always made me feel comfortable whatever the situation was. She will be forever missed. My hopes and wishes go out to the immediate family for everything they will need to get through this difficult time. May your memories, like mine of Dar, always bring you comfort.

I will always think of Darlene with fond memories. We were always laughing. If it wasn't at ourselves than it was at others. Whether we were shooting pool, drinking, gambling of eating at "Joe's Grill", it was always a good time and especially some times with Jimmy. She is probably making the eight ball on the break right now. My sympathy to Jimmy, Pam, Courtney, Joe and Darelne's entire family.

Dar

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Our Forever Angel ... we little knew that morning that God was going to call your name. In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same. It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone, for part of us went with you the day God called you home. You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide, and though we cannot see you, you are always at our side. Our family chain is broken and nothing seems the same; but as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again. Your presence will live forever in our hearts.
Your Loving Family

Oh my heart is just breaking for you all. Dearest Chris and Tom particulary. So sorry for your loss. I have fond memories of Darlene as the forever fiesty "kid sister" of you dear Tom. Blessings on you all for healing and comfort in the days ahead.
