There aren’t enough words to describe the beauty of “Darrell”.
The twinkle in his eyes and his contagious laughter drew us in
to what quickly became a close friendship. He and Brenda
welcomed us into their hearts. He was generous with all he
possessed and never hesitated to share his advice, wisdom,
humor or labor. If the pain that we carry now is the price we
must pay for having Darrell so deeply touch our life, then we
gladly bear it . With much love comes deep sorrow. As our
time comes, I know you will be on that shore to welcome us
“Home”. We love you
Brenda, I am so sorry for your loss. You are in my thoughts
and prayers.
