Darrel(my boo boo),
I will always remember our special friendship. You was like my uncle. I was so glad I got a chance to talk to you before you left to be with the Lord! Thank you for all of our talks and fishing trips, when you lived in Savannah. Darrel I will always remember your smile and your great long talks. I remember when Tee and my mama would laugh at us, because we always called each other boo boo. I will truly miss you dearly! Love You

Sleep in Peace my dear friend. We served many long hours at the Post Office in Germany while on active duty. But now you can rest with the Lord. God bless you Retha and thank you for sharing Jimmie with so many of us.
