Oh sisters and brothers, I am so very sorry to post this news I just found online. I hadn't heard from our dear Darlene Denise in a few months and wanted to check on her status. I found her obituary listed online here:

She passed away on May 30, 2011.

She was such a special lady - always so full of love and support for me and so many others here. Darlene I miss you so very much and pray that you are free from pain and that your spirit is soaring.
