Bill, Patty and your families
Our sympathies to you all at Darlene''s passing. She loved you all so-so much and felt very blessed to have you all in her life. You showed her such love and kindness just like your mom did.
I''m so grateful, as I''m sure you are too, that she did not have to lay and suffer like so often happens. That she could be at the zoo with her friends on
Wednesday is such a happy memory.
We know exactly where she is today...her relationship with Jesus was so very precious and real. She''s enjoying the glories of heaven and her precious loved ones there.
God richly bless you all in ''these days''.
love, Karen

So sorry to hear of Darlene's passing.
With West Center Baptist's VBS just around the corner I am reminded of years past of Darlene's smiles and joy at helping out by greeting the children, serving refreshment and cheering them on during game time.
I will also miss hearing of her day when Pastor Kyle is not available and I would received her phone call.
My you be blessed with God's peace and comfort in this time.

Patty, I am so sorry to hear that Darlene passed away. She was a big part of your Mom''s and your family. I just heard today. I am hoping that she did not have to suffer.
I rely on Maxine to keep me informed as I have not been to Sioux Falls for a couple of years since Dorothy Boxdorfer and Dorothy Hall have passed.. I am hoping to make the trip this fall.
Love from Saint Louis, Betty
