Wow!!!! 8 years has gone by since we’ve said “good bye” but it really wasn’t good bye it was truly see you later. You’re missed Kleph and sometimes I wish I wasn’t one that hates taking pictures because I don’t have any of us together. I also realized that our time together was so powerful that we didn’t want to interrupt it with a picture. I cherish the time we shared and the memories and friends/family you left me with. You’ll never be forgotten.
Love always,
Christa, Queen,...

To the Durant family,
I am sorry for your loss and I want to offer my condolences. Darrell was a coworker of mines and I can truly say that he was an angel in disguise for the kids he worked with. Whenever I needed his assistance he was there. His personality was so great and he was always so humble. I wish you all comfort during this time of need.
