To all of you who signed this book, from my son Darrell: When I come to the end of my journey and I travel my last weary mile, just forget if you can , that I ever frowned and remember only the smile. Forget unkind words I have spoken; remember some good I have done, forget that I ever had a heartache and remember I've had loads of fun. Forget that I have stumbled and blundered, and sometimes fell by the way, remember I have fought some hard battles and won, ere the close of the day. Then forget to grieve for my going, I would not have you sad for a day. But in summer just gather some flowers and remember the place where I lay. And come in the evening when the sun paints the sky in the west, stand for a few moments beside me and remember only my best.
Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Robyn, Daryl,and family I am sorry to hear about Daryl John. Although I haven't seen him since he was a little guy I have known of some of his battles and have hoped for the best all along. I only hope he is at peace with God. Rest easy Daryl and know that things are never truly meant to be understood completely, just accept what cannot be changed and move on in your life. Celebrate his life and not his death. Take care and always stay in touch Dick
