Dear Sally, I was deeply saddened to hear about the terrible accident and Darryl passing.
I always remembered Darryl as being such a kind and loving man who didn't mind sharing you with Explorers Bible Study.
Your teaching and lectures truly impacted and changed many lives in Jacksonville and the surrounding area.
For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints and do minister
Hebrews 6:10
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family.

Dear Sally,
I´m sending you and your children my deepest condolences. I want to tell you how sorry I am to hear about Darryl passing away.
Our class mate Karen keeps class of 69 posted and tells us that you are recovering from the accident and that you are making progress, which makes us all happy to hear.
I considered Darryl as a close friend during my senior high school year in America. As an exchange student from Sweden, I spent my senior year in Aledo. I stayed with the Stutsman family and spent a wonderful year in Aledo. Darryl belonged to the friends I used to hang out with and we shared many good memories. Darryl was a person to trust and he always had something nice to say to everyone. We graduated from AHS in 1969 - an important year for all of us.
Sending you my deepest sympathies and comforting thoughts.
With love from Sweden,
Birgitta

I am so very sorry to hear of Darryl's passing. Sally was my first Explorer's Bible study discussion leader many years ago. She had a quiet yet powerful impact on my spiritual life. She showed me how to raise children and be a godly woman. I have exchanged Christmas cards but lost track of the Mayhew's over the years. I do care and will lift you in prayer as you grieve. May God hold you close.

Darryl and Sally are two of the most incredible and humble Christian examples I have ever met. Many great memories of First Baptist Jacksonville, softball, and Explorers Bible Study. May God's comfort be with you during this unimaginably difficult time.

On behalf of the Virgins, I offer the Mayhews our most heart-felt condolences. Darryl was a wonderful father (and grandfather), but also a positive, steadying, and encouraging figure in the lives of his children's friends. I remember fondly Darryl's wit and calm during sleepovers with Brad the Mayhew house. He will be greatly missed.

From the bottom of my heart, I´m so very sorry for your loss.... I grew up in Jacksonville with Sally and Darryl´s children. They treated me just like one of their own whenever I was with them. A cherished memory I have is when Rachel and I were in Brownies together and there was a father/daughter event in Springfield, IL. My dad didn´t want to go and Darryl took me along with he and Rachel. As I recall there was a 3 legged race where father and daughter put their inside leg in a potato sac and tried to walk. Since Darryl had two of us and didn´t want me to be excluded, he put both his legs into potato sacs and had one of us on each side trying to walk. We didn´t make it very far! Love to all of you during this difficult time.
