Darren I am so sorry for your loss. I didn't know your dad well but the few times we met he was very kind hearted. That must be where you get it from. Thinking and praying for you.

Darren,
I always enjoyed seeing you and your Dad at Hy Vee. I watched you grow-up.
I wanted you to know I am thinking of you with heartfelt sympathy
but wishing you much happiness in your future. I'm sure your Dad
would want that too.
Sincerely,
Marlene Bothell (former cashier)
