Hello Janine, I just found out today about Darryl. I was, and still am, in shock. I know your years with him were wonderful, hold onto the good memories... You and Darryl will always hold a place in my heart, I remember french braiding your hair, a personal request from Darryl. Your first date, the two of you living next door for a short time, your wedding and your pregnancy with your beautiful daughter. I know what you are feeling, I lost Barry 2 1/2 years ago. Just surround yourself with the people you love most and talk a lot about the good times you had with Darryl. Love you both, Always and Forever.. Nancy Jarvis

I was deeply saddened to hear the news about Eddie. Although we had lost touch over the years, he was a big part of my life throughout junior high and high school. We shared many great times, getting together with our gang to play ping-pong, shoot off firecrackers, and watch ball games. As your family endures this profound loss, I pray that God will comfort you and grant you peace.

May God be with your entire family during this difficult time.

We are just a phone call or text away...please let us know if there is anything we can do. Love, Karen Hensley, Jenna & Jordy
