Dear Darlene’s kids! (Mickey, Jason and Erica)
It’s with a heavy heart that I send this message. Your mother was a wonderful friend for what now pseems like forever and a day. We knew each other in school and after graduation and marriage. I moved away but we always kept in touch. Whenever I was in Franklin she and I spent time together if time permitted. She was my rock when members of my family passed away. Oh my, lots of good memories. I will think of her often.
Mick & Jason, Sorry to hear about the loss of your mother. Peace be with your families.
