Uncle Darrel, you’re loved by many and missed already. I pray your journey was fantastic. I know you’re in the presence of many that you love that made their journey before you. I can believe you are surely having a grand ole time. When dad left us, it was like pop without the corn. Now it’s popcorn with loads of butter in heaven for you and your siblings, Aunt Vera, friends, family and fellow Marines. Rest easy. I love you dearly. You were always there, when many were not.

Condolences to the Parks family. Our thoughts and prayers go out to your whole family. Psalms 147:3 says God, “heals the broken hearted, and binds up their wounds.” May God bring you comfort and peace.
