The Universe had even bigger things in store for you and over that, mere mortals have no control.
So thank you for the life you lived when you walked beside us. Watch over those you've left behind as their pain is so great. Know that your sacrifice is never forgotten, even by those of us who haven't crossed your path in this life. Thank you. Fran Purser

I think of you each day. I love you. It is so wrong that we have to loose our loved ones this way. It is so wrong that we know we will loose more good people to this war. Without you, there is a great void and Life will never be the same.

I am truely heartbroken due to the loss of lives taken for the sake of our counties freedom. I am one that doesnt support our president in his careless needs to stroke his ego. And this is just my opinion not ment to offend anyone Im just terable upset for all the lives lost in the attempt to fix a country that doesnt want to be fixed. Darrell was a member or LoneStarStang and a true Mustang lover we were proud to have him as part of our community his memory will live on forever at LSS. I would like to offer my condolences to his mother, father,sisters,brother,children,wife and all other relatives for your loss just remember "absent from the body means present with the lord" THANK YOU DARRELL FOR BEING A BRAVE AND HONORABLE AMERICAN........

Darrell,
I knew you and you knew me but words were limited but one thing that we have in common is to fight for our future and our childrens future. You may not be here to fight anymore but others will fight for you in your name including me. I will keep you in mind at all times when I think why do I stay in the military...because of heroes like you! No one could ever know what sacrifice you have made for them until they made it themselves but I know and those who support you know because they sacrificed their son, grandson, nephew, brother, and friend. We will see you soon and look over those who need you.

Hello Darrell, Well 1st off I hope that this note finds you in the best of health & happiness & it's being sent with highest hopes & much love..... It's been quite a while since we've spoken. Your family took your "vacation" really hard. It's only for a little bit & you're never really far away, we know you're looking down over all of us, helping to guide and protect. You are missed & I know you're still being talked to, even though you haven't really spoken back, your opinion, as well as your thoughts are known. You left a ever-lasting impression on all our hearts and an image in our minds of the most heroic, handsome man ever known to mankind.... Anyway, I guess I'll let you go for now, I know you're being followed by your new pack of "drooling for a hero" groopies. Take care and hope to see you soon.... _ Jeanette (Ricio237)
