For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
Keep looking toward the hills whence cometh your help, your help cometh from the LORD, which made heaven and earth.

To Darrin & Family~
We often wonder why are loved ones are taken from us before their time. I don't believe that we will ever know the answer. As you try to prepare to move forward without one of your loved ones, remember the beautiful soul and angel that is now watching over you. May you find comfort and strength in God in your time of need. You will forever be in my prayers as you try to gather all the broken hearts and pieces and continue on your life long journey.
God Bless all of you!

Words of Comfort:
There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go. " ~Author Unknown
I wanted to share this quote for Devin's parents, Daphne and Darrin, for his brother, Dustin, for his close family, for all of Devin's work family, school family and for his friends everywhere.
Devin Holmes is so Special, to so many, and I know he must have touched so many people's lives in a way they probably never imagined.
He was a very special person to so many people he befriended.
Remember the laughter and the big smiles.
Remember his everyday approach to life, his generosity, his personality, his ways with people are a real example for me and you.
At the end of the day, it is the time with family and friends that meant the most.
This is the blessing that will be cherished in memories. I know he will be dearly missed!
For all who are suffering,
Tenderly, may God's love heal your sorrow.
Gently, may the prayers of friends ease your hurting.
Softly, may God's peace replace your heartache with warm and loving memories
Please accept my sincere condolences.
On behalf of Daphne's Anthem family, please accept our deepest sympathy.
Please know that we will be remembering and honoring his life.
May it bring some comfort to you during this difficult time.
Our thoughts are with you.

As the coming days go by,
Thoughts of me will make you cry,
Light my candle to draw me near,
I will come to wipe your tear.
As the first year passes by,
Your tears for me will need to dry,
Light my candle as you think of me,
With a smile for me to see.
As the years go flying by,
Please do not keep asking why,
Light my candle with a happy heart,
Knowing we shall never part.
Through the years you will come to know,
You never truly let me go,
Light my candle with your love,
As I keep watch from up above
