Bud, I was so saddened to hear about Darla. It has been a long time since I had seen any of you, but I always remember how sweet Darla was. May God wrap his arms of love around all of you and know that there is no more pain for her and all is peace and love because her soul will never die. And her memory will be kept alive in the love all your children and grandchildren.

My dear old Friend Darla, you were an inspiration to all of us in your grace of your suffering for many years. We will mourn your death, and celebrate your life. You were the kindest person I ever knew. You and Bud, in your 34 year marriage, were a testimony to love and to death do us part. Bud, thank you for taking such good care of Darla over the years, it was not easy for you or your lovely children and grandchildren. Bless you all. All her brothers, sisters and cousins, there are so many of you for us to remember in our prayers at this time. Peace to your hearts as we all mourn... and laugh... and cry in the memory of our wonderful Darla.
