My loving 'big' sister will be sorely missed by me and my family. Her passing has left a large hole in my heart and I am looking forward to a reunion with her and our parents in heaven. I know she is at peace. I will miss her very much.

Darlene and Carole are my only first cousins on my Mother's side. The times they came to visit were always good times. God was good to us. We shared a wonderful Grandmother and we were all blessed with loving parents. When I think of Darlene I will remember laughter, sparkling brown eyes, sassiness and hugs. See you later cousin. Love, Linda Sue Vermillion Smith

I am so sorry to hear of Darlene's passing. For me it was very sudden. I'd just learned that she had returned to Savannah and I hoped that we could play bridge as we had years ago. My sincere condolences to the family.
