On September 16th, 2019, the life of Darlene Montes tragically ended due to a senseless act of violence. Darlene was just a few months shy of her 50th birthday.
Darlene has so many wonderful qualities, but what I admired most was her empathy and compassion. Whether it was people or animals, Darlene would not only show she cared, but she would find a way to help.
