I was good friends with Darlene during junior and high school in Mentor, Ohio. She lived in Mentor Headlands for quite some time, then before high school was out, they moved into Cuyahoga County. She has one daughter and I can't recall her name and as far as I know , she still resides in California with two daughters. Darlene never got married. Though I graduated in 1971, we lost touch until around 2001 and kept in close contact via email and phone calls until her passing in California!! She had sent me a Xmas gift just days before she passed. She had been sick for quite sometime, sadly!!! She was a very kind woman. She has one brother, Ken, who lives in Ohio, her mother Clara Lent who I believe is still living. Her father passed away, Richard, quite a few years ago!! Miss talking to her!!
