I didn't know you until I was an adult and I am so glad to have gotten that privilege to call you my great aunt. Heaven received an angel. You will be missed.

To Darlene my sister-in-law. I know it's been many years since we last saw you, but we think about you often. As my son picked me up from the airport yesterday in Arkansas (Mon. 3-11-13) we started talking about you and how you worked at the Dr. or Dentist office he went to. You were a lovely person and will be missed deeply. My prayers go out to your family. Linda Thielen Daly and sons.
