Darlene was a great woman I worked for her and Eddie Jo for a few years she was always there if you needed someone to talk to and would always help in any way she could I loved her very much and always will. Sending love and prayers to the family
We loved Darlene. We saw her one day when shopping and she told us about the cancer. We had been praying for her. We always enjoyed visiting her at Produce and More before we moved away. Our heartfelt sympathy is extended to Eddie Joe and all the family. You all are in our prayers. May Jesus hold you very close.
