Darlyn was a wonderful friend, so warm and loving…we got to meet her and her husband many years ago and over the years enjoyed their company so much, especially at Lake Ada. She was one of the best cooks around and knew how to make food look and taste wonderful. We still mourn the loss of her husband, Dave, and now will also mourn her loss. Much love to her wonderful family too.
So sorry for your loss! Beautiful lady! Missing your mom will never go away! Lean on our Lord for comfort and strength.
So sorry Tad! I’ll never forget how she pretended not to be angry after we exploded an egg in your microwave! Prayers are heading your way my friend!
Deeply sharing the grief of your loss. Dar and I spent many hours together at a exercise class and always coffee after.
I miss her dearly, she was always so easy to talk to and a very good person and friend.
Sally, I was so sorry to learn of Dar’s passing. I know you were longtime friends and she will be dearly missed by you and so many friends and family. Since I don’t see you and others in the early morning class, know that I think of you all frequently and fondly.
Sending you warm hugs and best wishes.
Alex
Dave, Jeannie, Emily & Abby, We were so sorry to hear of the loss of your mom (& your grandmother). We are praying for you & your extended family. Throughout the years, we enjoyed visting with your mom at all your birthdays, special occasions & barbecues. God bless you and bring you comfort.
I met Dar in our morning exercise class. She was warm and friendly as we shared stories about our grandchildren, one in particular who is now a veterinarian, as is my son-in-law. She is missed by many of us who knew her at the Community Center. May peace be with you and your family. Cherish your memories.
