  1. I enjoyed working with Dar at the fireworks factory. I remember her “favorite saying”. “Crumb-on-a-crutch”.

  2. I am saddened to hear of Dar’s passing, my sympathies to her family and friends. She was a sweet Lady…

  3. Your heart was so full of love,
    Please watch us from above,
    May your memories carry on,
    Long after you are gone,
    I will never forget you,
    And please don’t forget me…
    And please give your loved ones some peace.

  4. So, sorry for your loss. I remember your mom way back when she owned the Ayr cafe. I didn’t know her that well. But when I was a little girl visiting my Grandma & Grandpa we would get to go up to the cafe every once in awhile and your mom was always so nice & full of energy. My grandparents thought very highly of her. Keeping you in our prayers. God Bless.

  5. Many memories of Dar when she and Larry visited us. Lots of card games and visits to the Frenchtown casino. Our sympathy. Wini and John.
