Darrin, you are on my mind every moment of every day lately. I feel like you were stolen from the world. It was so unfair. I wish so many things were different. I wish life had been easier for you. I will miss our texts on holidays and birthdays. Your service was beautiful. Not a dry eye in the house. I love you
