Posted at: 7/24/2010 5:42:21 AM By: Claudia Gibson Darlene,it has been awhile since I have seen you but you have always had a special place in my heart.All those years that we worked side by side at Staley working 12 hour shifts!! We would always get tired and silly,you always keep me laughing. Your laughter and your sweet smile will surely be missed by all who knew you. I remember when you was saved, you told me all about it and I could see how much you loved the LORD. When I heard that you had passed away, it was hard to believe, but I find comfort in knowing that you are no longer sick and in pain and I know that you are singing and shouting HALLELUJAH in Heaven. Rest in Peace my old friend. Posted at: 7/23/2010 11:29:10 AM By: Sharon Mcknight Darlene, You will be missed by so many as you were so very special.

She will be sadly missed by me. From now on when I go to BB&T I will always think of her. She was always so helpful to me whenever I went to the bank. She worked hard all of her life. I always enjoyed talking to her every tax season as I prepared her taxes. She was a delight as a client and was one of my favorites. My prayers are and will be for her family since she no longer needs our prayers since she is now with her heavenly Father and in perfect health. Take care. |
