Everytime I think of Big D I will always smile... he was quite the character who made EVERYONE laugh! His legacy lives on in both Shellie and Mark since they both luckily inherited his wit and "charm". Hee hee! I see Darrell often coming out in the things they say and do. :) "Now that's a Darrell comment!"
Remember... Memories last a lifetime! Cherish those always!
I will think of Darrell fondly every single time I sit in my Cubbies chair that he made for me after Jeremy's death.
Now you have your own guardian angel watching over you! What a great guy to be one!
Love you all, forever and always!

Our deepest condolences are with you in your time of grief. May you continue to find comfort in the memories that you all shared together and get comfort from knowing one day Sickness will be no more and Death will be a thing of the past. In times of grief such as these, We find it comforting to meditate on the words found in the Holy Writings at Job 14:14, 15. Job expressed his faith that God would bring him back to life if he should fall asleep in death as he said: All the days of my compulsory service I shall wait, until my relief comes. You will call, and I myself shall answer you." The scriptures indicate that it is possible to be reunite with your loved one in the near future, right here on earth under peaceful, righteous conditions. Psalms 37:10, 11 offers us this promise. My sincere condolences to your entire family.
I am so sorry for your loss. Daryl was a wonderful man who raised an amazing family. Our family will continue to say prayers for yours as you deal with this loss. Love you all!! Tiffany, Erik, Kambry and Karson
