I'm Darl's second cousin - My mother was Georgia Belle Mead-Church. My aunt is Norma Mead-Farrar. Darl was always so sweet and kind to a pesky little cousin. He well represented the Meads by being so loving and caring (a Mead family trait). And, oh so handsome. I'm happy and proud to have known such a good man. Rest in peace, Darl. Keep a place at the table for me.
