Dear Kelly,

I attended TTU with Darren, and I think you too. We were involved in the UCSC. I have often recalled some of the comments that Darren had made during various Bible studies and some of the lessons that he had led. I was impressed by the insight that he had given and those insights helped me to move to greater understanding of God's will. My heart hurts for you and him. I will continue to pray for you.

In Him,

I spent a lot of time with Darren in the Old Hickory Church of Christ youth group back in the late 80's, early 90's. Darren was such a terrific guy and I have so many great memories of him that will live on in my heart. My constant prayers are for all of his family and that God will comfort all of you in a way that only He can. I thank God daily for men like Darren!

Dwight, Johnny & I were so sorry to hear about this tragic accident. I cannot image what you are going through at this time. We will not be able to be at the graveside services because of previous commitments, but we will be in touch.

You and your family are in our prayers. No bond is as great as that between a parent and child. Our deepest condolences are with you as you grieve.
