Florence, Betty and I pray that God will make His presence known to you as you pass through this time of sorrow. We enjoyed the times we spent together in our various discussions. We considered you both dear friends even though we didn’t see each other for periods of time. We know he has begun the first ten thousand years in His presence.

I got to know Darrell while working for National Farmers Union Insurance. He was such a kind and friendly man and a joy to work beside. He was an insurance agent and shared an office with us. We would also be willing to help anyone. Heaven has gained an angel! My deepest sympathy to his family and friends. RIP
