Jess,Jared,Jen--
I was fortunate to take care of the service for your father for Roselawn. Having worked w/ Jess at Main St Cafe' and going to SVCC together made it that much more special. I have the "dad" ribbon from the spray. Please contact me at Roselawn or at home at 276-988-3608. I want y'all to have it.

Jared, Jessica & Jenica, If my words could ease your pain, I would shower you with them. Darrel will be dearly missed by all that knew him. It's ok to cry, it's ok to smile, it's ok to laugh as you remember your Dad. I will keep you all in my prayers.

Blizzard Family -- I’m so very sorry to hear about Darrel. I wanted to give my deepest sympathies to your family. I know he will be greatly missed. Everyone had such wonderful things to say about him, but then why wouldn’t they? He was a wonderful person and touched everyone he met. He has always held a piece of my heart – and always will. My prayers are with your family.

I was shocked and sadden to hear of Darrel's passing. I knew your Dad from working in Price's Grocery Store, and all of you from working at the high school. I remember your family with love and a warm feeling in my heart. I know that Cleveland was a better place because of the Blizzard family. May God comfort each of you at this difficult time.

A grateful "Thank You, Sir," on behalf of all America for your sacrifice and honorable service in the defense of our country in Time of War. Veterans of our Armed Forces such as yourself have preserved and maintained the dignity and freedom of our Nation and have kept our Flag flying high, proud, and free. God bless your family and God Bless America.
