Dear Susan, words are so totally inadequate to express our sorrow at Darrell's passing. He leaves behind a gaping hole in the hearts of his friends; I can only imagine what it is like for you and your children. My prayers are with you; God in His mercy comfort you. Love, April
Susan and family My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. Please know I am sorry for your loss. Dianne
I would like to extend my sympathies to all of Darrell's family. I first met and got to know Darrell when he joined the Twin Lakes Choral Society. He was a joy to be around and quickly became a valued member of our choir. We were very sad when he had to leave but understood the reasons. Our hearts are sad to say goodbye to such a gentle loving man but we know he is in a beautiful and wonderful place. Please know how much he meant to all of us at Twin Lakes Choral Society. He will be greatly missed.
Sincerely Faye Hixson
