Ms. Turner and Family, I am keeping all of you in my prayers. Darlene always made me feel welcome in her home. I have and will always keep her and all of you in my heart. My words cannot heal your heart but be assured that God is always with you to mend your heart, strenghten you, and give you peace.

I would like to send my prayers to Darlene's family and most personally, Donna. I graduated with Darlene and Donna from AHS and can honestly say that I was friends with both. As we have approached our 25th year of graduating, my heart is really saddened. Though, I know not a mere fraction of how sadden you are in the loss of your precious loved one. My prayer is that the Lord will continue, as I know HE is faithful to, strengthen your hearts and spirits. Be encouraged in the Lord, this is my prayer. I will also mimic one of the other persons who made a entry and say that I, too, could not ever tell the twins apart. Though it never really matter, I just always said,"hey Darlene/Donna" and who ever it was spoke just the same. It always brought a smile to both of our faces.

Donna and family I am so sorry to read about Darlene's death in the paper last night. We all graduated together from AHS and to this day I still have trouble telling which one of you was which. I know it is hard on your entire family but it has to be worse on a twin sister to loose such an important part of your identity. You both were so much a like in so many ways I know she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Keep your head up Donna and that cute miracle child Derek and God will get you through all the rough times.

Take comfort in knowing that you now have a special guardian angel watching over you! I first met Darlene years ago when I cared for her at home. She was a blessing and I will always remember her.
