Bette Kingston
I was shocked to find out about Darlne's passing. I had sent her a birthday card and it was returned to me in the mail today — that was over one month ago. My daughter then looked it up on the computer —- Darlene always called me. I do not know if you remember me – I am Bette Kingston and we used to live in Rantoul, Il. on the base there and we have kept in touch for all those years. One year they even came to Utah Darlene and Mel in their motor home and we did a few things together. Mel passed away and then Kent passed away two years ago (2014.) I hope I can do as well as your mother did living as a widow – she was a remarkable person. You can write to me Bette Kingston – 4199 South 3100 East – Salt Lake City, Utah 84124 if you would like to tell me the details of her death and being in the hospital. I had not heard from her in quite some time. I am so sorry for Linda and Larry – she was so proud of her children. Take care and much love to you.
