We have known Darlene and Carl since 1981 when we moved to Middlesex. This couple were really Angels performing a mission for young people, bringing them to the Lord. The Best friends anyone could ever have. Darlene loved Music and played wonderful.

Samantha Campbell from Bloomfield, New York on Oct. 25, 2022

I'm so sorry for your loss. She was a wonderful lady. Really didn't know her that well, but she was a sweet lady. She always wanted to go into the kitchen and try to get all the dessert before dinner. She will be terribly missed.

Tommy Miller from Naples, NY on Oct. 25, 2022

So sorry you have lost such a special woman in your lives. We know she is with the Lord. I am sorry that I have been so sick that I won't be able to come to support you and your family at the funeral services. My heart and prayers are with all of you.

Sending my deepest sympathies and condolences. I was fortunate to take many trips on the Church Bus from Middlesex with your dad and mom. I was a curious kid, always asking questions. Why does the bus make this noise, why does it do that...etc No question ever seemed too big or to go unanswered. Except on the railroad tracks she'd say Mr. Schwartz won't be able to hear the train unless we are completely silent; he'd just chuckle and smile. I loved riding that old bus. There were few people who could play the organ with the love and passion that Mrs. Schwartz did. Young children see what we do and how we do it; what did I see. I saw a woman who lived for Christ, and loved for Christ. Many years have gone by and I know my life has been greater having known Mrs. Schwartz- a good and faithful servant.
