We are saddened to hear of Darlene’s death. As you, as a family, mourn the loss of a wife, mother, sister, aunt and grandmother, we mourn the loss of a friend. There is a small host of people scattered across the US, “South of the Border”, who over the years have come to know her as a friend as well. She held great hope in a resurrection that is sure. May you take comfort in that you will see her again.

Sincerely,

Larry and Jan Brown

Condolence from Kathy Butson on September 8th, 2021 12:41 AM

Dear Tom, I’m terribly sorry to learn of the sudden and shocking passing of Darlene. I remember my first meeting of her when I was a young child at my Nana and Grandpa’s house when Mr. and Mrs. Stewart were visiting. I think she may have babysat me that night so that the four adults could go to the horse races. Later, you and she became a couple. Darlene was always genuinely interested in me as a young child, teen, and adult. I remember her voice and laughter well and her gentle spirit. May friends, family, and happier memories help you through this very difficult time. Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
