Posted at 03:38h, 07 MayI was saddened to hear of Darrel’s death. He was a quiet man from which you could get and occasional smile and laugh. I know that the past few weeks have been a struggle but the battle is over and he is at rest. My heart is with the family as they grieve his passing. God be with each of you.
