Darlene Sims

I tell your other nieces and nephews that we have lost so much more than an aunt. We all basically grew up together. For this reason - this is almost unbearable.

Our memories are as endless as our love. I know for sure that love and bonds transcend life as we know it. And spirits are connected forever. I do (love you in a place where there is no space nor time.)

My heart felt so (full) conversing every night for the last months of your life. Each time you reminded me that you were not afraid - confirmed your relationship with God. It is only a true relationship that could give you that type of peace.

For ALL that you did. . .for all of us. . .Thank you. Thank you for sharing yourself - your children - and your grandchildren. When the inevitable grief befalls any of them - rest knowing that we will all be there reminding them of your light. Just as the wind is unseen - yet felt and its presence known - so will you be.

Forever we will be. . . The Great #8.

My Dearest Aunt Darlene,

It is hard to find the words to say goodbye to someone who meant so much to me. My heart is heavy knowing that I can no longer hear your voice, see your smile, or spend time with you, but I am grateful for every moment we shared.

Thank you for your love, your kindness, and the way you always made people feel welcome. You touched so many lives simply by being yourself. Your strength, wisdom, and caring spirit will always be remembered, and I will carry those memories with me for the rest of my life.

Losing you has left an emptiness that words cannot fully describe. There are so many things I wish I could tell you one more time. I wish I could thank you again for everything you did, hug you one last time, and remind you how deeply you were loved.

Although you are no longer here with us, I find comfort in believing that your love will never leave. It lives on in the lessons you taught, the memories we made, and in everyone whose life you touched. Whenever I think of you, I will remember your warmth, your laughter, and the special place you will always hold in my heart.

This isn't really goodbye, because I know that love is stronger than death. Until we meet again, I will cherish every memory and honor your life by trying to live with the same kindness and compassion that you showed to others.

Rest peacefully, Aunt Darlene. You will always be loved, always be missed, and never forgotten.

With all my love,

Lionel B. Clark Jr.
