We are so sorry. We were never that far from Broaddus and she and Keith communicated about getting together but it didn’t happen. May God give you grace, mercy, and peace.
Our thoughts and prayers are with Gary, Rose and Michael and the entire family. Darlene has always been family to us since she was our sister-in-law when she was married to Ross’ dad and when she married Gary he became a part of our family also. Darlene’s entire family had been a part of our lives for a long time. She will be missed.
Gary,
So sorry about Darlene. She was special to so many people.
My prayers are with you.
My sympathies and prayers are with Darlene’s extended family during this time of their loss. Darlene was in the same LMHS class as my oldest brother and I knew Darlene as Kay’s older sister. She will be missed by those whose lives she touched.
The Clayton Family
Dear Gary, Ross, Michael and family,
Terry and I send our love and prayers to you. When we lived at the lake Darlene always spoke of her sons and grandsons. You were her life and she enjoyed the time she spent with you. She was a very proud Mama and Grandmama. Another thing that Darlene enjoyed was a Dairy Queen Blizzard! Every time we went to Jasper to shop we ALWAYS stopped at the Dairy Queen, she loved the “Blizzard” and made me a “Blizzard” fan too. There was never a discussion about IF we would stop for our “treat” it was UNDERSTOOD that we would stop. I’m sure that you have many fond memories of your Mom to recall and talk about, remember her often and know that you were loved.
God Bless You and give you Peace.
Terry and I send our love and condolences to you. We were sadden to hear about Darlene and pray that God’s love will give you Peace and comfort at this difficult time.
