As I sit here wondering what words I could possibly offer to comfort Billy & Jason, I find simply that none exist which could do justice to the loss of such a sweet, wonderful guy. Billy & Jason, you both already know what a great son and brother he was. I will remember shared childhoods and playing in chicken coops at Annie & John's house, growing up with one of the most gentle and kind souls who ever lived, Christmas at the farm with all of the cousins, aunts & uncles and more food than you can possibly imagine, Darrell's beautiful puppy dog eyes, and a life ended too soon. I spoke with him a week or so before he left us, and all of those memories came rushing back when I heard his sweet, gentlemanly voice. Even in the midst of so much discomfort, he was so thankful and appreciative of the smallest of kindnesses. He was in the prayers of so many people, many of whom he never met, and he knew that and appreciated that so many people cared about him. Billy and Jason, those same people are praying for you now. Let the memories and shared love you had with this sweet soul carry you though the days and weeks ahead and may you feel the love of so many who care. We are all carrying around a Darrell-sized hole in our hearts now. May the pain of losing him be replaced with memories of his sweet presence in our lives and the joy of having spent a little time on this earth with him. In this life, we were blessed to have shared a little time with him. Love & God Bless.

Billy and Jason,
We are praying for each of you and want you to know Darrell was a wonderful man, good friend and it was a joy to be in his circle of friends. He use to tell us he was proud that his grandparents help start our church.
God Bless,

WHO COULD EVER FORGET YOUR BIG OLE BROWN DARRELL EYES AND YOUR SWEET QUIET NATURE. I AM SO GLAD I GOT TO VISIT YOU BEFORE YOU PASSED.
YOU SAID YOU NEVER HAD TIME TO WATCH TV AND NOW THAT YOU DID THERE WAS NOTHING ON. YOU WORRIED YOU SAID ABOUT WHAT WAS GOING ON IN THE WORLD.

WELL YOU ARE WITH HER NOW SWEETIE. AND THE STRUGGLE IS OVER. MAY YOU BE AT PEACE.
BILLY, AND JASON I PRAY THAT YOU ARE COMFORTED. OUR HEARTS GO OUT TO YOU.
WE ALL LOVED HIM AND WILL MISS HIM.
LOVE, PHYLLIS

I would like to extend my condolences to Mr. Hutchens' father and brother whom we know loved him very much. He was a pleasure to take care of at the hospital and was always so thankful for anything we did for him. In our profession, here and there you come across such delightful and special patient's that are a pleasure to care for. Mr. Hutchens was just that, and so much more. Although he will be sadly missed, he is in a better place now, with no illness, and no suffering.

Billy and Jason, We were so sorry to hear of Darrell's passing. If we can do anything please call us. Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. May your memories of Darrell bring you comfort during this time.

Billy and Jason: I can't say enough times how sorry I am to hear of Darrell's passing. One of the last things he said to me at the hospital was that he hoped to see me out there in the garden this summer. When I'm out there now, I will be reminded of him and of what a kind and gentle person he was. He was very lucky to have had such a close relationship with his family who loved him so much.
