I love you so much Darius! I remember the last day I was with you like it was yesterday. I showed up to your house unannounced because I had no where else to go in Raleigh. You opened the door, laughed, and said "you're one of the only people who could show up at my front door uninvited." We hung out with the dogs and let them play and it was so good to see you. I am so glad I never waited for you to respond before I came, I was leaving Raleigh that same week. I truly believe God creates every moment for a reason. I believe he wanted us to spend time together before I left NC. I will love and miss you always. Thank you for being Channing's "Hoovy" and the best big brother I never got from blood!

I remember life before you , I remember when you finally made your debut into our lives. I never imagined doing life without you. You have done so many great things and touched so many lives in your short time here. I always loved your sweet spirit. I wanted to hear more about your dreams and goals . I wanted to know how you did on that test we talked about in your parents kitchen . We were just getting started . I will miss your bright smile . Although we didn´t get to see you much it was always so nice when you would come around. Seeing all you guys together towering over us when we use to change your diapers and watch y´all run and play. "I love you Heavy D" was the last thing I said to you . Even though everything has changed; that part never will. - love always your big cousin Carla Allred Law
