Darlene was a sweet loving woman that opened her home to family and friends in times of need. She gave her life to Christ at the age of 9 in Corpus Christi. The church was on a beach with sandy floor. She said; ‘it seemed God was closer out there. One Saturday God spoke to me in a special way. I realized how much his son Jesus had done for me when he willingly died that I could have forgiveness from sin and have eternal life with Him in Heaven. I asked Jesus to be my Savior and Lord of my Life. It changed my life forever.’ Funeral service Wednesday, March 5, 2008 at 12:30 p.m. at Wildwood Chapel with interment following at Restland Memorial Park.
