I write this message with the eternal hope that my wonderful friend, Darryl, has secured both comfort and peace as she passes through the dim midst of eternity. With respect to integrity, compassion, forthrightness, and honesty, Darryl had no peer. I will miss her engaging smile, the warm embrace of her friendship, and the unconditional love that we shared. It absolutely breaks my heart that I cannot attend her memorial, but I will never forget my dear friend.
