Milly, Dunks, Hooch, Lenny, and Cinner - My thoughts and prayers all go out to you in your time of mourning. My deepest sympathies. If there was ever someone who could make me laugh, it was Darryl. He had this way about him that always made me feel like I was part of the family. Though I haven't seen him in a while knowing he's no longer with us just devastates me. I wish you all the best and pray for each of you and your inner strength. All my love.
