Marsha, so sorry I missed the furneral, I was out of town camping with my granddaughter. She qualified for a state horse show for the weekend and we camped at it.

So sorry about Darren. I have funny memories of him and Darrel at work. They were "quite the team". They picked on Cheryl a little. Loved it!!

Marsha and Family,

My thoughts and prayers are with you. I worked with Darren at SBC, and even planned his retirement party. He was a joy to work with, always so nice and helpful.

Marsha and Family,

Our thoughts are with you. Darren was always so nice, sweet and good to me. I remember in the 7th grade how welcoming he was to me when I would spend time with Cindy. He always put a smile on my face. He will be missed!!!
