The date above was truly one of the worst days of my life. My older Sister Darlene was a victim to domestic violence. She passed away at the age of 38. I can not describe my sorrow and won't even try. However, I would like to urge those of you in abusive relationships to GET OUT!

I remember that day well. I lost a wonderful friend. I shall always remember that day - in fact, July isn't a very good month for me - except that there is NO SCHOOL - your sister died and then Tommy died on July 14th. I have this little plaque on my wall that Darlene gave me - it has a ribbon and then says "Friend, you are a precious part of me". I treasure it - as I do your family. Keep being the fun loving, crazy person that you are - Darlene would have wanted it that way - Love, "Benny - as Ann always called me "Daughleeeeeeeen and Benny" - what fun we had!!!
