Darlene was such a sweet and friendly lady.I always enjoyed talking to her and Marshall at the Coffeehouse and were some of my favorite customers. I am so sorry for your loss and you all are in my prayers. No matter if I saw her out at Ingles or where ever, she always had a smile and always stood and talked.
