Darrel's love of children was so sincere. I was 19, Grant was 20, and Ashley was 16 months. We were living together and Grant had his buddies over. Darrel spent the entire time playing with Ashley. She just loved him. As a young self conscience mother it meant a lot to me. Rest in peace my friend you will always have a place in my heart. My sincere condolences to the Smith family. You are a shining example of what love looks like.
I am so very sorry for the family. Darrell was a great guy. Very fond memories of him. No words. Forever missed. RIP old friend. Tina Portlock Pugh.
