My sympathies to Vanessa and girls. Darren was a great supporter of St Anthony's school in Seatoun. He served on the school board and was very active in assisting with many projects. Always enthusiastic to help with any project. In fact all the family were great supporters. I met Darren's mother, Zilpah as were working side by side at one of the school fairs, and was saddened to read that she passed only weeks ago. Thank you Badger family, may you be comforted by knowing your dear husband and father helped and cared for so many. Frances Dwyer
