My heart breaks for Alan and the family. I enjoyed my visits with mama Darlene. It was hard to watch as she fought health problems especially the last couple years. She would tell you just what she was thinking which made her herself. As Cheri, Tina and Sue were growing up and I got to spend sometime with them she treated me as one of her own kids. Alan, Cheri, Shannon, Tina, Tom, Sue, Jason and family know I’m always here for you. Love ya
