I am comforted to know where Darrel is, and that we will meet again. What a wonderful friend and neighbor, both he and his Mom, and they are missed. I pray for his family and friends who feel the pain of loss, and rejoice for Darrel, who dances with Angels and can FLY!

Darrel was always a shy but kind and polite fella in school. Class of 1972 he will be remembered. Sending our condolences.

Darrell was such an interesting person to be around. He used to come into the post office at Moody and we would talk sometimes for an hour or more about everything going on in the world and more. We will miss speaking with him.
