To the entire Ayre Family:

It was difficult for me to bring myself to this point of signing Darren's guest book. After reading some beautiful letters that loved ones contributed, I felt a desire to be a part of it. It is very comforting to share thoughts and feelings with people who loved Darren so much. It's like a "Darren Connection." Because of the way Darren touched our lives, we all have a gift from God that will forever be in our hearts. How can I explain this gift? Well, we all have needs during different phases of our lives. I find it comforting to reflect upon times when God allowed certain circumstances to happen, which would in turn bring us closer to Darren, and closer to God. The bible says in James 1:16 "Don't be deceived my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created."

One of the most beautiful experiences that Darren and I shared was praying together. There are no words to describe the amount of comfort and peace you receive when you step out of your comfort zone, and pray with someone, especially someone you love and care about so dearly. As human beings, it is impossible to imagine what living in eternity will feel like. But I know I'd like to find out some day, and although it's hard sometimes, I know I must have faith. "Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it. Faith is the reason we remember great people who lived in the past. It is by faith we understand that the whole world was made by God's command so what we see was made by something that cannot be seen. (Hebrews 11:1-3,32-34) For anyone who is struggling at this time, I pray that you will go to your Heavenly Father and ask for help, and be specific. He already knows what you need but wants you to come to him with your requests. The timing of God's response may or may not appeal to you, but when He does respond you know it, and at that time you may understand his reason for not giving you an answer so quickly. I feel selfish when I think about how much I miss Darren. Not only was he my first true love, but he was someone I truly adored more than words can say. I am grateful that God put Darren in my life, and even more blessed to know why.

I love you Gloria, Big A, Little A, Mark and Paul. I love you Darren!!Love "Squingele"

Dear Darren,

Thank you for being the most loyal friend and devoted brother that I ever could hope for. From the day you were brought into my life, until the day that I had to say my last goodbye to you,I loved you from the depths of my soul and from the bottom of my heart, which is now broken but continues to love you with a force so powerful it will keep me strong until the time we meet again. The closeness that we shared will forever remain unmatched, and the hurt that I feel is so deep I pray to God every day to please take away the pain and the feelings of despair and confusion.

I know it is said that God needed you to be with Him in Heaven, but I can't help but feel selfish that I still want you here with me, and I am confused as to why He needed you now. It's not fair, I still need you to be my friend and confidant The feelings that I shared with you cannot be shared with anyone else. You were the only person who I felt comfortable sharing my deepest thoughts with, and I knew that my secrets were safe with you.

I do realize that in time these feelings of sadness will be replaced with wonderful memories and warm smiles, but until then there will be no truly happy days for me. You made the darkest days sunny for me.

So many people have come to me in the last few days to comfort me, and to tell me how much you respected and admired me, and that you wished that someday you could live up to me. But the funny part of that is that I wished that someday I could live up to you. I wanted your secrets of how to love life and to live each day to the fullest, and the secret of how to make and maintain close friendships that last a lifetime. I guess that I am on my own to figure all that out for myself. I promise you, Darren that I will not let your death be in vain and that while I have no answers as to why this happened, I will honor your memory by making myself a better person. I will learn to love life as you did, to laugh as you did, to make the best of each day with the help of close friends, and to give more of myself as you did without ever thinking of yourself first.

Thank you for being there for me at those times in my life when I had nowhere or nobody else to turn to. And most important of all I will forever be in your debt for what you did for me this past November. Everything that you did for me was always done without question and without ever asking for anything in return.

So goodbye, my little Brother. Rest in peace and let me know from time to time that you are watching over me. I in turn will watch over those things that were precious to you while you were here with us.

I love you so much, and I will never forget you.

Mark

Like so many of my family and friends, I never got to see Darren enough. But, when I did, it was always a pleasure. I will always remember Darren, smiling, joking, talking about guitars, and music. Darren could work a room like no one I know. I will miss you, but always remember your charisma.

Darren,

I will never forget the first day I met you, I fell in love with you right then and there. I am grateful for all the love and laughter, lucky for me and all of us that are left behind, there was so much, indeed more than most people have in a lifetime. I will forever miss your smile, hugs, kisses, talking and listening to tunes all night, Friday night kareoke, your crazy messages on my voice mail, walking the dogs on the beach, and margaritas with peeps. You always made me feel like I was the most beautiful, stylish, classy and the coolest girl in the world, and I know that you felt that way always. You will forever live in my heart and soul. You made me proud. I will always know that you are watching over all of us every time I hear a song that you loved, and every time I look up at the bella luna. I love ya awful. Until we meet again my love tiamo. CK

Darren,

Our family will never be the same without you. We will deeply miss your warm and tender presence. No matter what the length of time between seeing you, we could always expect that same beautiful, welcoming smile and sincere charismatic manner. I will forever cherish our memories together through the years and thank God always for being blessed with having you in my life.

I love you. - Tracy

Darren forever smiling

Darren forever gracious

Darren forever in our heart's

Gone from body - but never in soul

We will always feel your presence

In the warmth of a sun ray

A whisper in the wind

Fallen raindrops in the night

We feel you so - we miss you so

And yet we know you are free

Free as a bird

Your soaring now far above the clouds-painting us a picture in the sky-dancing with angels

We will never stop loving you

Darren forever smiling

Darren forever gracious

Darren forever in our heart's

In Honor of Our Dear Cousin Darren,

You were so very loved throughout your entire life and even now when you are no longer with us. So many lives were touched by you, in more ways than one. The ripples are endless, as seen in this church today. Your cheerful smile, sense of humor, and empathy for others always stood out. Family and friends were such an important part of your life, always in your heart and thoughts, as were you to us. The memories run deep - from running around Nana's house as children, to talks and laughs as adults. From your mother, father, brothers, relatives, and friends, you always had a presence about you that lit up a room. We were always so happy to have you near. Your mother and father must be so proud of what a fine, genuine, loving person you turned out to be. What a person gives to this world defines who they really are. You gave so much to us all. You will be missed immensely, and forever in our hearts you will remain. May god hold you in his arms forever until we see you again.

Lovingly,

Tiffany & John Cox

Dear Ayre Family:

Darren has touched many lives over his short time with us. I will miss his infectious smile, quick wit and most of all his little boy charm. Darren made me feel like we were family with a connection to our italian heritage, his pride in whipping up antipasto's and endearment of calling me Mari uch will be in my heart for ever. My thoughts and prayers are with you all at this very sad time in our lives.

Mr & Mrs Ayres,

Darren is very special in all our hearts. I didn't know him as well as the rest of the gang in Marshfield. But I do know he always had a kind word to say and had a talent for making people laugh.

I will pray that he has a place next to God, I'm sure he does.

I will also pray for you and your family during these times of sadness.

God Bless you all.
