"Im a little late because I just found out about her passing but I will so miss her.Tears stream down my face because she was so like a grandma to me. I remember working with her at Dollar General she taught me so much. She even gave me a swat on the back side a time or two just because she thought I needed one. It was so much fun working with her. I will miss her and I pray for all the family for strength and peace to know that she is up in heaven dancing with her husband. :D"
In loving memory of

Tributes
"Darlene added to the joy Gracie and I have visiting Crestview. I will not be able to attend tomorrow, but I want you to know that we will miss Darlene very much. Darlene showed me pictures and shared with me some of her fun memories when she was working in her scrap book. She and Gracie had a special time, and Gracie knew the way to Darlene's room from either door. When Darlene would take too long to get up and 'take' us, Gracie would talk to her. I am glad to have been able to share that one last visit. We both will miss her presence. My prayers are with all of you as we all know that life here is not forever. With love in Christ, Pat "
