Oh Darrell, it's been many years. I remember you as a cute little boy on Galvez St. That house was the fun house. I used to have you under me like my baby. Let's not talk about those beautiful long eyelashes. Jackie, Sharon, Boobie, and the rest of the family, Darrell is at rest now. Take comfort in knowing Mom and Dad are now looking after him as they have always done. My sincerest condolences to you all

Rest Brother Dee.praying

It wasn't that long ago I saw Dee in the truckstop on Elysian Fields. When he saw me he smiled and we both said heyyy, long time. I hadn't seen him since 2012, and finally saw him again in 2015 about 2 months or so ago. It was good to see him again and it was the creator's way of bringing an angel in my path one more time. You will be missed Darryl.

I can remember the day you'll moved in next door. Katrina brought some real good people next door to us. We would sit, stand and talk outside and inside both our homes, we even shared some of your Louisianna cooking and my Texas/Louisianna cooking. We talked and talked and you'll eventually came to Good Shephard where members. I thank the Lord we met the way he wanted us to, and I pray that we can continue to be friends. Wendy and the kids I am here for you'll always. Wendy you know you can call me whenever about whatever. Darrell will be missed =, but we know that he accepted Christ and he will be with our Lord.

Selina Adams,
I'm here for you'll
