Darlene was a very special lady. We went to church together for many years and she was always a happy person. The first Christian quartet I sang in was with Darlene, Glenda (Davis) Plumlee and Linda (Mattison) Cronk. We all had a blast and we always dressed alike when we were to sing somewhere. I miss those days so much. Looking back life seemed easier then, but now I am looking forward to the day to meet my loved ones I’ve lost in heaven. My prayers and love to her family that God will give them strength and comfort during this time. We were all like family many years ago going to church together in Mountain View, MO and I am looking forward to our heavenly family reunion. God Bless you all.
