The first time my wife met Dar she felt as if she had known her all her life. What a vibrant, outgoing person she was. I will miss her smile and her positive attitude about life. You are all in our thoughts and prayers.

To: the Family of Dar
I had the pleasure of working with Dar for just under 10 years. She was amazing! She was always on top of her job. She knew all the details and expertly coordinated the schedule to fit whatever time frame I needed. But Dar went above and beyond her responsibilities. She became a friend, an encouragement, and a lover of life. We would talk about our families and life outside of work. She became an inspiration and a role model to me. Thank you for sharing her with me! I’m glad she is no longer suffering, but I will miss her and I know you will, too. I’ll keep your family in my thoughts and prayers.

Mary & Brian Bevier - Apr 25, 2012
