Ashley Conley says
Darlene, you will be missed greatly by the Conley family. Your welcoming positivity made moving to the neighborhood an easy transition. You mentored me with growing my first pot garden, when I did not think I was capable of growing anything edible. You provided such great advice to new home owners and showed so much love and compassion to our children and dogs. Im really going to miss seeing you outside every day and will miss those walks through your garden on those warm summer evenings. Thanks for always being there for us. You will truly be missed. This is not a goodbye, but until I see you again.
