  1. Aunt Dar you were one in a million, you had the best personality of anyone I’ve known, you were a lady when you needed to be and a strong woman always. You overcame and conquered all life through at you and you outlived them all. Without you I may have never had my children, you pushed their dad and I to meet and for that I have no regrets and will forever be grateful. I love you from the bottom of my heart and thank you for being my aunt, my neighbor and my friend. RIPARADISE with every loved one that went before you, they’re waiting with open arms.
