Darla proudly shared ownership of Thermal Polymers Systems with her husband for 30 years. Darla’s love of life was brilliant. You can’t capture her life in one light bulb; she was a thousand lights. She loved to travel. “If she was on a plane, train or automobile, she was good.” –Marc

2 Corinthians 4:16-18 “Therefore, we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all. So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen, since what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.”
