Words cannot express how very much I will miss you!!!
You were a great friend and I will cherish all the memories we shared this past year. My fondest memory is at our yard sale…My husband “Buy one get two free, Buy one get two free, buy one get two free, you can get it at Darrin and Jo’s” What fun we had. Then Kevin with the wig…man how we all laughed. I will treasure all our talks, laughs, and tears. You fought the fight and in the end you did win…I pray you rest in peace and always know I will hold a very special place in my heart for you:)
Alrighty then….
I love you Darrin
Darrin will be greatly missed, she was an angel on earth.
So sorry to hear of Darrin’s passing. She was a sweetheart and went through alot. My condolences to her family and friends.
Darrin,
You will be forever in my heart. I’ll never forget all our childhood memories. Love you forever, Julia
I have wonderful memories of Darrin and I playing together every Sunday afternoon when we were in elementary school at St. Ann’s. Our mothers led our Bluebird group in the third grade. We lost touch over the years and I was so sad to learn that she had passed. My condolences to all those she loved.
Darrin was my cousin. Even though we didn’t keep in touch through the years, I remember her when she was very young living in Scranton, PA. My mother and her grandmother were sisters. I am very sorry to hear of her passing and my sincere sympathy to her friends and family.
Donny (fuzzy) So very sorry to hear of your great loss; Darrin was a special lady, she will be missed by all who loved her. My heart is with you and your family. Love, Cheryl
