Wow! Something About God's Grace! God Bless the Houston Family for sharing such a jewel with the world. God bless Bro. Houston for using his gift to glory God, as we all should.

I met Darryl while serving as guest musician for Women's Day at St. James. He asked where else did I play and I shared that I serve as musician for St. John Hospital Choir. He said WOW! - I always wanted to do that. I replied "but Darryl you have performed on major stages everywhere". Darryl stated, I always wanted to play for the sick. To that I said WOW!!!

I went to Jamieson Elementary with Darryl and in our music class he played piano and I played the bongos. I haven't seen Darryl since then and I heard of his passing on Facebook through a friend of a friend who knew him. May he rest in Heaven and may God wrap his arms around the family
