My condolences to the family. When losing a loved one it can be unbearable. That is why God has provided scriptures in the Bible to help one’s cope with the loss of a loved one. In the Bible book of Isaiah 25:8 Jehovah God promises soon to “swallow up death forever.” He also promises to bring back those who have fallen asleep in death (Acts 24:15). In a little while longer this kind of pain will be a thing of the past (Revelations 21:4). May these scriptures bring you comfort in this difficult time (jw.org)
RIP friend
Fond childhood memories. So sad to lose Darlene so young.
Aunt Darlene, my childhood is full of memories with you and my mom from family events, camping, birthday parties etc. I know the last few months have been especially hard on you but you are now in the arms of Jesus and I can not begin to imagine the homecoming you had when you arrived. Give our love to the family.. Kiss Sophia for me.
Darlene has always had a heart of gold and was a true friend throughout my life. I will always love her and miss her deeply. I will always be grateful to have had such a sister as she. -Rest in peace, friend. It’s been a wonderful ride-
Rest in peace sweet Darlene
