To the entire Tack Family,
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Darren was a truly nice guy, with a heart too big for this world. May you find peace in the fact that he doesn't have to deal with anymore doctors, which he hated. Take care and God bless.

Jakob and Jenny, I was very sorry to hear about the loss of your dad and son. I loved Darren. I remember how he would come to the school (Keewahdin) and visit my classroom. He was so proud of you Jakob. He was a great guy and has endured a lot in his life. May he rest in peace and know that he definitely left his mark in this world. If you need anything Jakob, you know where to find me. Jenny I remember how proud you were of Darren and I can still hear you telling me about him at Aunt Jane's.
