Dear Bill, Denise, and Family,



My sincere condoleneces to you and your family on your tremendous loss. Darlene was a very friendly easy going person. She always had a smile. A very people person. Prospect on 69th will never be the same. I always remember like clock work almost every time I was in the drive-up Darlene was making her trip to the brown box and always said hi. I will keep you and your family in my prayers during this sadden time in your life. May GOD give you and yours the courage and strength to understand and help you through the toughest of times.

Sincerely, Barbara and Family

Uncle Bill,

What can I say? We are sad but we are strong. This time is very difficult but we know, somehow, we will survive. She wouldn't want it any other way. My brother Bill stole my thoughts of you and Aunt Darlene. I too tell everyone I know about my "cool and young" Aunt Darlene and Uncle Bill. (Yes, Denise, you're parents COULD be cool!) You were an example for all of us nieces and nephews. We knew you weren't much older than us and we could see ourselves being like you. We are all shocked and at a loss for Aunt Darlene. Much too soon for her to join our families in Heaven, but at least she has good company there, and they are all watching over us. We are here for you, all of you, if you need anything. We are family and together we are stronger. Know that we are praying for Aunt Darlene and all of you,

Kathy, Geno, Alex and Adam
