You were my moms best friend. The memories you 2 shared. You happened to be at the hospital the day my brother was born and the day after I was born, you and Brad ran into my parents on the highway of all places on their way home with me. You were meant to be in my moms life. She is so heartbroken to lose such an amazing friend, and a very fun Avon lady. You will be forever missed Darlene but your suffering is finally over. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Love you all. R.I.P Darlene
