We always knew Dar was a Darling! Such a loyal wife, mother and grandmother. She was a wonderful host for so many Christmas parties for Coldwell Banker. Many wonderful memories with her. Darlene was such a talent. I still have the cutest snowman she hand made for me many Christmas's ago. I thought of her fondly sitting it out every year. I took my Christmas decorations down today & gave that snowman a big squeeze. You'll be missed Dar. Sending love & prayers from Florida to Steve, Hillary, Doug, Leslie & all of the grandkids. Dar will always be remembered fondly. Our Love & Prayers, Randy & Tina
