Its so sad to see people come and go. Darrell was someone you couldnt stay away from without missing terribly. Lil Darrell is a little brother to me. Whenever I am with him he just makes me feel right at home. He is such a great kid and losing Darrell may be the worst thing that could happen. I will always miss him and he will always remain in my heart. I love you Darrell.
