Glenda, I am so sorry for your loss. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Kaye
I am so sorry for your loss, Glenda and Zachary. I was blessed to have known Darrel. He was a great man!
Glenda, I am so sorry for your loss. I will keep you and your family in my prayers. May God put his arms around you and give you comfort and peace at this very difficult time. Patsy Jones
Glenda & Zachary, I am so very sorry for your loss. You will both be in my thoughts and prayers. The days, weeks and months ahead will be hard, but will get easier with time. Dwell on the wonderful memories you have together.
Isaiah 41:10 fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
Glenda, I wish there were some “magical words” that I could say that would take all the pain away, but there isn’t. We just have to believe that for some reason God needed Darrel in Heaven more than we needed him here on Earth. There were many times after a hard days work that Darrel would sit across from my desk and tell Wiley and I some funny story about something that happened at home. He would just light up when he talked about you and Zach and his two wiener dogs. Darrels love for his family was unconditional just as Gods is. If there is anything that Wiley or I can do for you please let us know.
Glenda,
I was so sorry to hear of your loss. You and Zachary will be in my thoughts & prayers.

Glenda and Zach,
Earth has no sorrow that Heaven cannot heal.
May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holly Spirit.
My deepest sympathy,
Glenda,
Thinking about you, Miss G. Darrel’s love is part of what makes you so wonderful to all of us. You inspired us with your faithfulness and courage together while Zach was little and later as so many challenges came into your lives. So sad that he is gone, but so good to know that we will all be together again some day.
Ginny, Kevin, Margaret and John
Rest in the assurance that God has taken away Darrel’s pain and suffering and now resides with him in a much better place. I am very sorry for your loss.
Dear Glenda and Zach, You never leave our hearts. There are so many thoughts, and not the right words to express them. But we love you and wish for that to help.
