I’m so sorry to hear of Darlene’s passing. I worked with her for many years at HyHo. She was the one who would always make my birthday cake. (German Chocolate). She’s flying with the angels ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I’m so sorry for your loss. I grew up seeing Darlene almost everyday at HyHo. She made my daughter a hooded towel for my baby shower gift, and I still think of her when I use it for my son.
