ABOUT AMANDA AND STACY DARLING

http://www.stacydarling.com/about-stacy-darling.htm

Stacy Darling, at the young age of twenty-one, lost her life along with her six year old sister Amanda in a tragic automobile accident in 1993. A temporary stop sign had blown down in a windstorm and Stacy Darling's car was hit from both sides as neither vehicle stopped. It is always such a tragedy to lose someone at such a young age; Stacy and Amanda Darling were wonderful people and were loved by many.


ABOUT RON DARLING

http://www.stacydarling.com/about-stacy-darling.htm

In September of 2001, the Darling family tragically lost another member of their family. Ron Darling lost his life in a motorcycle accident. Ron was a young man who was admired by all that knew him for his easygoing nature and great sportsmanship. In his memory, we have established a sportsmanship award. He was the epitome of good sportsmanship and it only seems fitting that he be remembered in this way.
