My Grandma was the best! I am so very proud to be her granddaughter and feel honored to have had her unconditional love. Although I miss her so very much...I am glad that she is no longer suffering. She believed in the Lord and I know that she is in a better place and that I will see her again some day. I love you my Beautiful Granny and I will think about you each and every day for the rest of my life.

It was an honor knowing Darlene, she always had a way of making me laugh. What I loved most about Darlene was her honesty. She was not one to mince words, a great trait!
Rest in Peace Darlene, we will always miss you.
