Hi Darryn!!!! Wow! I can’t tell you how much you are missed! Yesterday after we prayed over our Christmas dinner, I took time to tell the kids (now married with their own kids) that you have been with God in heaven longer than you were here with us. I told them how very proud you would be of them. I also told them how honored you would be to know the family continues to carry on your name, with your newest great nephew born this year! We have 3 generations of “Darryns”. I still tell them stories about you when we were growing up, like the cat story and the fire cracker/garage story!!! They laugh so hard!! I really miss you and I really love you. You were the best little brother ever!
