Condolences to her family, I am so sorry for their loss.
So sorry to hear that another beautiful person that I shared so many family memories with as a young girl, and then seeing her later in life with such a pretty smile whenever I would run into her. She would always take time to reminess. She will truly be missed by many. My heart and prayers go out to you all.
As we grow up, we learn that even the one person that wasnt supposed to ever let you down probably will. You will have your heart broken probably more than once and its harder every time. Youll break heart’s too, so remember how it felt when yours was broken. Youll fight with your best friend. Youll blame a new love for things an old one did. Youll cry because time is passing too fast, and youll eventually lose someone you love. So take too many pictures, laugh too much, and love like youve never been hurt because every sixty seconds you spend upset is a minute of happiness youll never get back.
Dont be afraid that your life will end, be afraid that it will never begin
RIP
My prayers and condolences go out to the entire Nile and Alexander family. Darlene was an awesome friend that will be sadly missed.
