Daryl,
I'm proud to have you as a brother. You're a great son, husband, father, brother, & friend.
Thankfully you know how to live a life in the present, that's full & wonderful.
The time we had together has been much too short. Thankfully, there's no more suffering.
You got to go out your way, fast, painless and full of life. Thanks for showing us how it's done!

It was always great when Daryl came to town. His sense of humor was the best. The way he would say things with a straight face always made yiu guess if he was joking or not. Sending my love during this difficult time to his family.

First time I saw Daryl was at their wedding. I thought Cari and Daryl were a beautiful couple. When I got to know him, I knew he would be someone you could always count on. We lost one of the good guys.
