I am so sorry for your loss. Losing a loved one is one of the most difficult times for a family to go through. I hope you find comfort in the resurrection promise at Acts 24:15. There we are promised to see our loved ones again. Won't it be wonderful to see that time come true?

I am so sorry for everyone's loss. It is so sad and shocking! Way too young, Darlene was the backbone of the family, and kept it together. She touched so many lives and was an influence among many. I can't imagine what her family is going thru. Darlene was the perfect nana and she will truly be missed. So sorry!!

I would like to extend my deepest sympathy to all of you as you go through this most difficult time. I didn't know Darlene well, but I am aware of how much she meant to all of you. I pray that all of you will find the strength to get through this time. May you look to one another for strength and encouragement and bonding. I am so sorry that this has happened. It just doesn't seem fair to someone so young.
