For several years we have been blessed to have Janie Darden as a dependable and loving caregiver. We could not have traveled this journey without her. Marie (Nannie) was a mother and grandmother to many friends and family. Marie will be laid to rest in Gatesville, TX March 16, 2013 at 3:30 pm. The drive to Gatesville is too far for many; therefore, Kenneth and Lynda Hargrove will be hosting a "CELEBRATION OF LIFE" gathering at their home to honor her long loving life at 2:00 pm Sunday March 31, 2013, Longview, TX. We would love her friends and family to join together to honor this AMAZING WOMAN! Marie will be missed by many that were so blessed to have had her in their lives. We want to express our appreciation for the love you have shown to the family with cards, phone calls and visits. Your friendship has been the best medicine for our hearts.
