My prayers go to the family, especially my childhood classmate Dian. Both McClure girls were beautiful inside and out. Janie Solga Kennerk

The world and I have lost a friend that will leave a void in our hearts. Truly a passionate lady, a person deeply committed to her faith and circle of friends that comprised life.
A strong lady, with faith and conviction prayed often about this time in her life, dreading leaving those that remain, but welcoming the opportunity to re-unite with Tommy and her Daughter in law . Darleen lived her by faith, putting her health and life in God's Hands, knowing that whatever was on the horizon was In His Hands. Go forth Gracious Lady to enjoy the Glory and Promises that you have lived for.
My sweet lady, please know that I will deeply miss your friendship and hope that you can feel my heartfelt loss.
Diana, Judy, Todd, Daughter in laws, Grand Children, Great Grandchildren, live in her shadow and you will be truly blessed as have been those that were blessed with her friendship. With genuine deep felt condolences for all that were graciously touched by this Angel in Training, God Bless and May He Open his arms and Welcome this Lady Home.
P.S. Keep and eye on the gate, when you see a guy shaking his pant leg to get over his boots, know I have arrived to enjoy your company and friendship again.
As you called me

God Bless
