I only had the privilege of knowing Darvie for a few years as a member of the OPC's 10 o'clock water aerobic class. I marveled at her wonderful sense of adventure, fun, and friendship. High on that long list of examples is the touching, outdoor, mock wedding of one OPC member to John Wayne - complete with minister, bride maids, ushers, best man and Darvie acting as the mother-of-the-bride! And to top it all off, a reception at Hooters! No standing still for Darvie there was always someplace to go, some adventure to have, some goal to reach. Yet her family was her heart. Indeed, that was my common ground with Darvie. Our families are what mattered most. Darvie, you have shown me what it means to live life fully each day. I miss you dearly. Know that you and your family are in my prayers.
