My sincerest condolences. Darlene was a wonderful person like her brother Tim whom I knew from our early antiques discussions
back in Orange County, New York in the 1970s and '80s. A wonderful family. This is a very beautiful obituary.

My family and I would like to express our deepest condolences to your family for the loss of your beloved Darlene. Our sincere prayers go out to your family during this most difficult time. Death is our worst enemy and can leave us with a lot of anxiety. Please allow my family to share a few words of comfort with you. A comforting Bible scripture that will bring you comfort during this time is Acts 24:15 “ which states there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous. The Almighty God promises us that that we are going to see our loved ones again who are resting in the memorial tombs. And 1 Corinthians assures us that “ Death will be a thing of the past. So continue to turn to God during this difficult time of bereavement and continue to cherish all the memories you created together with Darlene. Once again we send our deepest sympathy to your family and will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. Warm regards Asare Family.
