I don't know why, but something this evening gave me the desire to look up online the Loudoun Times Mirror. I've not lived in Loudoun County for many years, yet I do check in once in a while, just to see of what news is in the county, and was most heartbroken to see the sweet, smiling, always thoughtful Darlene a beautiful lady, with whom I shared so many lovely laughs, and thought provoking times. I worked with Darlene in the Loudoun County housing office, many years ago. She is still in my memory to be one of the most cheerful, upbeat, what we gotta do, full of kindness and such good humoured ladies, I've ever worked with, to be honest, I found her love of people inspiring, really. She organized "Christmas gifts" for less fortunate families, had progressive and forthcoming results in the community. A lovely, wonderful woman. I send to you all my heartfelt condolences, and wanted you to know that a person, from Darlenes' past, remembers her with much admiration, and happy memories. I send you love and healing thoughts.
