To the Scarborough and Pagano families, The family of Joseph and Robin Gex of Kiln, MS, extend our deepest condolences on the loss of Darrin. I remember Darrin well from our time together at St. Stanislaus College in the 1980s. While Darrin was a few years older than I, he was always very kind and supportive to me especially with football and track and field. His loss leaves a void that can't be filled. His time here will always be cherished. May God welcome him with open arms. Sincerely, Joseph W. Gex, II.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man.

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dear Mary Ann, Scooter, Daneen, entire Pagano & Scarborough families, words cannot express how deeply this news crushed me. Living away from the Pass I regret not having been around to get to see and know my great nephew Darrin throughout his growing years. My love and sincere condolences to each of you.

I remember when they lived on the same street we did for a while and how sweet these kids were. Mary Ann was the funniest, sweetest lady I knew, great mother and adored her kids. My prayers are with the entire Pagano and Scarborough family during this very difficult and tragic time. May you all find peace within the Lord who will provide you the strength knowing Darrin will always be with you. Cherish your memories which cannot be taken away and one day you will reunite.

God bless all of you!
