We were so sad to hear of Darla’s passing. She looked so happy and vibrant in the pictures from her birthday party. Just wish we could have been there. Your mom was always so dependable and willing to do whatever was asked of her. She had an affinity for helping students that were having trouble. We also appreciated her dry and intelligent sense of humor. I know you will miss her greatly and hope all the good memories ease the sadness of being without her. Love to you all, Hardy and Adeana Carlyle

Darla and I worked together at Lazbuddie. I considered her a true and wonderful friend. We enjoyed lots of good conversation, and I will always cherish her quiet and wise advise. She was always willing to help in any way and never complained. We shared a special affection for animals and flowers. Rest now my dear friend, wish I could have seen you. We will have lots to talk about on that fine day! Love to all, prayers for comfort, and lots of hugs to her sweet Allie!
