11 Feb 2022Although Dan and Darline were only married “12” years they were together since the 80’s ! Dan would not give up until she said ‘yes’ ! She was more than a terrific person! She loved gardening and loved to teach it as well as canning and sewing! Everyone that knew her loved her! She worked hard her whole life and loved retirement ! There’s so many things left unsaid! She will be truly missed by all that knew her!

14 Feb 2022Darlene was my sister from another Mother. I learned about her, Mary and Ronnie when I was eleven. Never met her until I was in my fifty’s.
She was always the baby of my Dad’s first family. I always considered her one of my sisters and followed her on Facebook. Dan my sympathy goes out to you.
