5 Condolences for Darlene R. (Riggs) Lee

  • Love and comfort to Robert and entire family

  • Darlene was one of the most intelligent people I have ever known. She also had an extremely dry sense of humor which took a few seconds to appreciate. She retained this sense of humor throughout the last 111/2 years when most others would have just given up. Her faith and love of Jesus were a constant. Darlene was a friend that I could speak openly to about my spiritual journey. You have touched so many lives. You will be missed.

  • Darlene and I have been good friends since our children were little. She was an amazing person…smart,witty, and warm. She was able to get through any situation by relying on her deep faith. I will miss you so much til we meet again. You were an inspiration to me.

  • THE LORD WILL WELCOME DARLENE WITH OPEN ARMS, SHE LOVED HIM SO MUCH ONE OF MY PRAYER WARRIORS, MAY OR LORD COMFORT AND WRAP HIS ARMS AROUND ROBERT AND THE FAMILY……SHE IS OUT OF ALL THE PAIN AND FINALLY AT PEACE……..WILL SEE YOU SOON DARLENE R.I.P. JIM AND SHIRLEY DILKS AND FAMILY, SAY HELLO TO AARON FOR US DARLENE.

  • Robert,

    I’m so sorry for your loss. We’ll be praying for you and your family.
