Betsy and Family,
You and your family are in our thoughts and prayers during this sad time.
Dear Nancy and family,
We were so sorry to hear of Darby’s passing. I knew he had been ill for some time. Anola Bassarro from your congregation keeps us up-to-date. I still have a picture that Darby painted for my grandmother, Clara Byles. After she passed away my mother Evelyn Heil took one of the pair. I believe her sister took the other. It hung in my mother’s bedroom until she passed away in January 2005. Heather still has fond memories of the time she spent with Erin. Again, please accept our sincere sympathy.
Norma and Bill Covan
Our thoughts and prayers are with you and all of your family at this sad time. Even though we know that God is calling our loved ones home, it still is never the right time for the ones that are left behind. I just read the Times Leader online today and saw about Darby. God Bless you, Nancy, and the rest of your family.
