Darrin was my brother in law. And he was very special to me. I married into this family as I was married to Darnell Henley-Milligan. After Darnell passed away I was taking care of him and my mother in law Patricia Wall-Pass. Me and Darrin would go to Dodger games. I love you Darrin and will miss all 3 of you.
Love James

My heart goes out to the Henley family. I haven't had an opportunity to see
D.J. since moving to AL several years ago, but I've thought about him often I just found out today that he had died (Mark sent me an email from Colorado to tell me). Nici is currently in the hospital in Chipey. FL. Not looking good for her.

Dusty, you and the family are in my thoughts & prayers. You and Darrin will always have a special place in my heart. We all had some really good times growing up and he was always up for a big hug even after his accident. Memories of you both put a smile on my face. Lots of laughs and fun times shared and that's how I like to remember him. My heart breaks for you and I am so so sorry for your loss.
