Dear Larry, Julie and John,

Darlene was a force to behold and may you find peace as you make your way forward.

She took care of my sons, Bill and Bob Griffin when they were children and you lived on Wilbor Ave. We always said hello over the years and I enjoyed hearing that Julie and John were thriving.

I never passed your homes without thinking of her and will continue to do so.

May God bless your family and the angels will keep her in theirs.

With deepest sympathy,
