Tom and I have so many amazing memories of living next door to Don and Darlene in Port Albert when we moved there in 1991. Darlene taught me all I know about gardening, pickling and humming birds. She loved my kids and they loved her too. I remember if Danielle wasn’t near by, Darlene or Don would yell to us that she was over here for a visit. It was also so wonderful to meet their family. Family meant everything to Darlene and it showed. Her Grandchildren were her pride and joy too. Darlene always made the most amazing birthday cakes for Danielle and Joel. Although we went in different directions years later and only saw eachother a few times, I can honestly say Darlene was the kindest soul and I can’t wait to meet her in heaven some day. Our thoughts and prayers are with the entire family. XO.

Dear Linda and family, sincere condolences from Bob and I. We were very fortunate to have been your Mom as our next door neighbour. Although it has only been a short while, she made us incredibly welcome. Baskets of tomatoes and green beans from her garden along with an incredible gift of making you feel you had known her forever. Always admired her determination and strength. We will miss her but she left us some wonderful memories.

Aunt Darlene was an incredible woman. She gave so much to so many people, Dad, Jay and I included. We will always remember her with smiles, great stories and love in our hearts. Her spirit lives on through her family. Her sudden passing reminds us to live life to the fullest and grab every opportunity for adventure, love and happiness.

One of the biggest sadness as we grow older is the loss of our family. We remember Darlene fondly as part of our extended family and all the Christmas and picnics and other happy shared occasions. Always enjoyed visiting with her. Our condolences to her family. Eileen and Jim
