Not sure what to say?





Darryl... I had not heard of your passing...Damn, it was tough to read your obit today as I was going through a bunch of old papers!

We had some good times in our younger years at Jason Lee and Columbia River! I am pretty sure you were the artist of most of our Party Flyers... Like the Beach Boogie and the Chieftain Tapping the Keg! You always had a great sense of humor! Cheers to a Life well Lived!

Your family has to be proud of the Guardian Angel they now have.... Darryl you will be Missed BUT Never Forgotten! RIP my Friend....

Karen and Amanda,
I still am in shock from your email with this terribly sad news about Darryl. Life is so uncertain for all of us day to day - these are the times we remember that most. I believe you will all be together again someday if that is your wish.
My sympathy for your loss is there for each of you. Seems the only thing that can help now is time. Never forgotten but always loved and remembered. The more we love the more we hurt and feel loss.
I wish I could remove the pain you both are feeling.
Your friend, Sherri Davis
