Not sure what to say?

I'm saddened to learn about Darren's passing. Few people have the ability to make a lasting impression to a young child. I was about 4 years old when Darren worked for my father and remember Darren treating me like a tiny princess. I remember Darren as a sweet and caring person and will always remember my "first crush."

Wherever you are, whatever you're doing you walk with all of our love. I miss you, but thanks to you I'm now a stronger person, more so than you'll ever understand. Thanks for just being you. That taught all of us a lot. I love you.

May God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow.

I spoke with Darren many times on the phone when he would call our office. He was truly a man of great faith. But just remember his memory will live on forever.
"They that wait upon the Lord will renew their strength, they will mount up with wings like eagles, they will run and not be weary, they will walk and not faint." Isaiah 40:31.
May God give you peace during this time of loss.

No words Could describe How much i miss you already. We will see eachother again someday, until then. See ya later. Love you Daddy
